Surreal week, the riots in London began last weekend, by Monday morning, the news on the radio was that riots had broken out all over the country overnight. My route to work was undisturbed on Tuesday but a colleague stopped by to say it was like driving through a war zone with burned out cars lining the roads and debris and glass and concrete everywhere. The news tonight seems to be implicating mostly kids, some as young as 10. What a sad state we're in that our kids think that causing mass destruction is fun or cool.
The rioting subsided after a few days later, but not until 4 lives had been lost as a direct result and tens of millions of pounds worth of damage was done to the country.
