Absolutely stunned.
So many accounts of what the 'tipping point' was, yet whatever it was, the full force of an angry people was felt last night by police and residents alike.
A burning bus exploded, cars set on fire, shops set on fire, homes on fire, and stores looted.
In North London, on what began as a calm and cheery Saturday, by night had become a 'battleground', with two sides. Police on horseback and riot police struggled to contain the violence.
I watched MP David Lammy today with what looked like tears in his eyes, unleash his impassioned plea for calm, whilst I clearly heard heard jeers of 'yeah yeah' in the background.
North London- was on fire last night..
The IPPC investigation into the recent death of a young man could take months..
The police are keeping them very busy of late
What next for the people, the families of those affected.. seriously distressing
*A side note is that, whenever people live in a community and believe 'I'm alright jack' or feel that the suffering of others does not , and will not affect them.. they are sadly..often proved wrong... we are all interconnected*
