Riots 2011 what is the point

What is this country coming to all this rioting around the country. I have heard and read so many conflicting reports about why this all started and all it seems to me is excuse after excuse. I was watching Sky News coverage last night off it, and i was shocked at the images don't get me wrong i am not criticizing them for showing it what i am shocked at is the horror's i saw missiles being thrown at policemen, buildings being set fire to and innocent bystanders to scared to come out their house's. My heart went out to the police officer that was hurt by a missile live on television but also shows the courage and bravery they show everyday, his colleagues protecting him, covering him making it safer for a medic to tend to the wounded. In all this rioting there are a lot off people showing courage against a horrible situation and my example was just one example off many. At the time off writing this i have just heard that there are already crowd build ups at certain place around the country and not far from me in Nottingham however this is just speculation i have not heard anything concrete. Lets hope this situation gets sorted out quickly. I HAVE NOTHING BUT PRAISE FOR THE POLICE WHO ARE FACING DIFFICULT SITUATIONS.

Generosity between strangers

The one thing i don't see often is generosity between complete strangers not because people are spiteful but usually because people don't have much money. So needless to say i was in complete shock when last Saturday myself and bow were on the train home, our 3rd train in 4 hours so we were both fed up and wanting to get home. The train was really busy as it was a late train home so people were drunk and being merry, a couple sat opposite us at the table where we were, Bow got talking to them about what she had been up to as she was wearing a football shirt she was given at a charity event earlier in the day, she also explained that we were travelling home this late as we were doing our local race for life the next day and how she had only been sponsored £4. The male in this couple felt sorry for her he sponsored her £5 on the spot then to complete strangers on the train he shouted out to get their wallets and purses out so they could sponsor this girl and the shock is they did, just on that train ride she had raised £30.12p from complete strangers. They made a 10 year old girl very happy and still boasts about what happened and it still makes me smile.
