Hey,

I haven't really heard much about them recently, but I think it's just horrible that some businesses lost so much because of these riots, especially the convenience stores.

I also think that whoever is in charge of the Police reacted too slowly. When Philadelphia had their riots, curfews were set straight away as well as making Police use Bicycles.

What are your thoughts?

Cheers
Leon

Lots of small businesses suffered. They really should have reacted much faster, but maybe there was a reason they didn't.

I think the cause of the riots was a lack of money on the rioters part wasn't it? Costs up, benefits and stuff stayed the same, or were cut ..
