England Riots



It all started with just a protest in Tottenham and then became serious when father of four Mark Duggan was shot dead by a police officer because they thought he was going to shoot at them. Even though he was a drug dealer and gang member he was a highly respected member of the community because he was a nice man. 
the youths started to go crazy n set buildings on fire, homes, cars anything they could. they started breaking into shops and looted JD, Comet, PC, world. they just took it as an advantage to steal things as they realised the police aren't going to stop them. 
eventually people started to copy Tottenham and didn't really have a reason to start rioting in their areas. these people ruined their own home and peoples futures along with memories. 
People started to copy London in Birmingham and started riots at bullring shopping centre after finding out a black male was stopped and searched randomly which angered residents. 3 men died in the Birmingham riots. 

I was born and brought up in Tottenham, I have a lot of memories growing up there lots of friends and family too. it was heartbreaking to see my home being destroyed on TV.
