Horrible times
thanks to the criminal underclass. Pleased that you are safe and hope your brother is recovering. I'm a keen football fan, the majority of which are passionate but not violent. Good to hear someone sticking up for them.

I am so sorry.
It's devastating when nature goes on a rampage and destroys, but when people do it, it's so much worse. Our whole world seems meaner, more dangerous and confusing. I hope you and your family are soon on the mend, and that the good people can pull their lives back together. Take care.

Seeing your pictures made it more of a rude reality than the images I watched on TV.  I wonder what people are thinking (or not thinking) when they get into a rage like that.

It was shocking when I first read about and now seeing your pictures, it's inconceivable why folks want to hurt others and tear up their neighborhoods! So very sad! I do pray for better times for you and your family! sam

Such a terrible loss....not just the tangible property, but the sense of safety of home and hearth, privacy, peace and all feelings bright and beautiful.

It was so devastating an attack of Nature leaving your hometown in a shambles. We pray that you all and the citizens be all safe. Reconstruction will come anew.

Symphony, I know the images and footage we got on the news were just
unfathomable...so hard to believe this was London England and not some place in the middle east...I guess the cops really weren't much good...from what it sounds like their efforts to stop the rioting were too little too late.....

When one remembers the courage and spirit of Londoners through the war determined not to be beaten by continuous bombing and joking amidst the carnage. It makes one wonder what has happened to society when it destroys so wantonly. I hope you will find another job soon, I don't think it will happen again or we all might as well give up.

Thanks so much Justi .....it's so heartbreaking.
it's unbelievable that people here who are apart of our community was also involved.....teachers and teenagers of rich families etc ....shocking and sickening...I want to move out to the country this place where we live is not ideal for my children - I want a better life for them....

Oh Symphony George and I prayed for you and the children during this time. I had no idea it was this bad. I did know it was in London and that you could be in danger. This is terrible. God bless you. Thank you so much for sending this. That is what our country will look like if we don't stand up and soon. I am so sorry.

Thank you all for your comments...I have added more to the post....(edited)
there could be so much more to write about......so many stories of the terrifying riot nights.....

There is definitely something wrong with this picture...no point at all to the destruction...where is the answer to 'why'??

There are times when words fail me and this is one of those times.

Keep your head held high and carry with you all that you have learned to get through this.

What a terrible thing to happen! This is man-made tragedy. Hurricanes we had in U.S, are tragic, too, but unavoidable - made by Mother Nature.
