London Riots - An Update

[babydee1]

Hi All,

 

Follow-on post from yesterday.

 

Things are a lot calmer in London today. Had a quiet night and an easy journey into work, no sign of dodgy characters on the way.  One of my colleagues did sit opposite a looter on her train home yesterday; dude had a brand new iPhone, trainers and several other items in shopping bags.  He sat there grinning - bold as brass, no shame or remorse...nothing.  My colleague said she was disgusted, but wasn’t ready to confront an obvious thug and get a fat lip for her trouble, so she kept her thoughts to herself. 

 

So London’s quiet, but unfortunately the violence and looting appears to have kicked off in other places, resulting in loss of life and tons of injuries, not to mention the loss of livelihood and the cost to rebuild the shattered communities.  Some people have lost everything they own to this madness.

 

I pray it all stops soon, but for some families life will never be the same again.

 

Hope everything’s okay where you are.

 

*hugs*
