This is the story which caused the riots - On the 5th of August 2011 on the streets of Tottenham. A young black man called Mark Duggan was shot and killed. But, police in the UK arent allowed guns!
2 days after he was shot, all Marks friends and family was outside the local police station. After being outside for hours, they started rioting. Then the riots started!
Main Events:
A 150 year old furniture shop was burnt down! And no Police or Fire Crew in sight.
Our main Sony store which holds EVERY SINGLE SONY RELATED THING, Robbed and caught on fire. My uncle was in a hotel which is Next to the shop, they thought they was going to die! Heres what he told me "It was horrific, Smoke everywhere! We didnt know about the riots so we thought we had to call 999. So we did anyway just to be told that 12 fire trucks, 7 police cars and 4 ambulances were on their way."
3 black men protecting where they live got ran over by a fast car!
Luckly, the riots are over. with 5 or 6 deads.
