Due to inflation riot kits are now £10

one video that stuck with me from this time was where a international student got attacked, had his jaw broken I think.... and then some other guys offered to help him back up but then stole stuff from his backpack while he was distracted. I agree inequality was a big driver for the riots, but its hard to feel sympathy for people who do that kind of thing.

It wasn't extra policing which ended the riots. It rained.

I remember those riots, I worked in a supermarket In Croydon and I can still remember security comming into the office and telling the store manager "They're outside, obout a hundred of them". We had already been told by head office that if they got inside we weren't to stop them, our only concern was to make sure they didn't start a fire. Scary times when it's outside your door and not just something on TV.

I still find it funny how they rioted for a known criminal and now his son is a big rapper also a known criminal, the irony

"he wasn't a gangster. he wasn't like that"... "but if he did have a gun"

London is becoming hugely divided now, only a matter of time before something else kicks off

One of my mates lived in Croydon during the riots, always talks about the windows being boarded up in their house and his dad putting barricades in front of the front & back doors. Wild.

I was stuck working in birmingham when the riots broke out there. As the riots started getting closer and closer escape routes were getting blocked off more and more, our boss did the only thing he could think of, bundle us all in othe back of a 7.5 tonne lorry (about 25 of us) and told the driver to get us at least 5 miles away. Driver was given explicit instructions, if the cops are in front of us, stop, if rioters were in front of us, keep going no matter what (which translated to " If someone tries blocking you in, run them over") it ended up, we got out with minutes to spare, they were literally like 2 streets away.. We got to a safe distance and waited to hear the news on if the company building had survived, it didn't... They smashed the place to shit, ram raided the doors open and just destroyed the place, not even bothering to try and loot much stuff, they just wanted to detroy everything around them. It had nothing to do with Mark being killed, it was just mob mentallity "Hey people are rioting across britain, this looks fun, lets do it too" Was NOT a fun time to be alive.. I remember seeing one internet post where some kid was bragging he had been looting.. What did he steal ?? a 1kg bag of white rice. Proper gansta that one. Although the dip shit was showing his face in the video and cops used that to match to someone on cctv. He basically grassed himself up and provided the evidence the cops needed..

Its disgraceful how the working people were the ones having to clean up after these disgusting bastards.

It seemed obvious early on, to those of us that lived through this that the ‘revenge’ criminal damage often appears to have occurred to draw police to a location so that gangs could then loot unopposed in other locations whilst the cops were dealing with the first. The reason it spread was that there were plenty of people up for doing a copycat and getting a load of designer gear for free once they saw the tactic was working. The ‘rioters’ only looted shops which contained designer gear or other items they desired or thought they could sell on easily. They didn’t burn the phone shop they looted it. They didn’t loot the furniture shop they burnt it. This is just like what is happening in California now, once people see they have a way to get free stuff for very little risk all the rats come out and copycat. Same thing happened in South Africa a few years ago

The way the family talk about mark duggan is embarrassing. It’s well known what he was like, who he was connected with and that he was far from innocent.

My neighboring cell mate was involved in the riots. He was cookoo. Absolutely mad and mentally unwell. He was one of the looters. When I asked him why he did it, it had nothing to do with Mark Duggan. He just wanted free stuff and be involved in the madness. Good lad though, always helped me out if I needed anything.

My man uploaded 3 days IN A ROW?!?!? Respect and appreciate the grind sir!!!

The looting is the worst thing about riots like what did some local man’s shop do

What ive learned in life is when an innocent person is harmed nobody cares. every protest there has ever been is always over criminals and terrorists. animals

Man, what you said about MPs simply taking money from the taxpayers rather than smashing into stores to grab plasma TVs...that hit hard.

Recently I've been getting so fed up with everyone making 3hr long videos about YouTube drama and then the other day I saw your video on the 90s rave culture and it was a total breath of fresh air,was thinking about it for days. And now this is another banger of a video on another subject close to my heart, so just came to say keep up the great work my friend. My 2 favourite videos of this year so far and they are both yours 👊😶

Nothing pisses people off more than when the police look at them suspiciously as if they're probably doing what they are, in fact, doing.
