So a criminal gets shot dead, the people don't even know the exact circumstances but think having a little riot will help? It just attracts the anarchists and the looters and will help no one. God knows why people get so worked up about a dead criminal but not even a dead innocent pensioner justifies violence and looting in my eyes. What a lovely community that must be where the only answer available is more violence!

The rioting and looting were in Tottenham -- why is Wood Green Cineworld closed?

Apparently the rioting spread to Wood Green when police were busy at Tottenham.

last night was so strange. I watched quite a bit of it. People running around of all nationalitys, I saw some Orthodox Guys hanging around in the crowd, women rushing past with hair relaxants or weave, been looting the Afro Hair shop or some thing like that.

but the strangest was a deserted Wood Green about 5am with the queue outside JD Sports, yeah that's right form an orderly queue for looting :rolleyes:
