Riots in the city of dreadful nights

Violence and looting actions have swept across London for eight consecutive days after the shot of Mark Duggan “a black young man” by the police. It all started by peaceful marches in Tottenham by his relatives and neighbors to the police office. Some say that the death of Duggan was a triggering factor; others see that the riots have nothing to do with his death and it all goes around the poor suffering black people who are taking advantage of the situation. So they are black people now causing riots and troubles, because they are always blamed for everything wrong in the country and they are discriminated out of no reason so they decided to have vengeance now. That’s typical racist thinking! What is happening in London is not caused by black or Asian people, there are blacks and whites out in the streets protesting in a violent way against the police humiliation and Cameron’s stupidity, but this is what the media doesn’t want to show. They are focusing on the criminals or thugs (like they were being called in Egypt) who are burning their country and no blame for the angelic government! What’s happening now is out of not being listened, is out of the deep-rooted racism and discrimination against blacks who are not receiving good education or jobs and get stopped and searched in the streets for no reason, and is out of not admitting that there is even a problem. I’m indeed against these looting actions, but the protests started peacefully and then turned out that way. What I’m sure of is that, it’s not the first time for a black to be shot by a policeman, but it’s the first time to see marches protesting against the action. Yea, revolution is in the air!
