Scores of violent incidents throughout Greater London area
The rioting is far more extensive than is even indicated in The Guardian’s story posted in the previous entry. According to a Google map last updated 2 a.m. Tuesday morning British time, there have been over sixty incidents of rioting, looting, arson, or other destruction in London and surrounding cities inside the M25, Greater London’s equivalent of the Beltway, most of them Monday night. You can scroll down the list on the left, which describes each incident (I’ve copied the entire list below), or click on one of the symbols on the map and bring up a box with the information for that locality.
The British have something like a revolution on their hands, and evidently they don’t have the manpower to deal with it. Meanwhile I was watching Fox News for a while Monday evening, O’Reilly and Hannity (with Mark Steyn substituting for Hannity), and there was no mention of the British riots. It was all about the stock market drop and the debt fight, with the usual lots of blondie “commentators” with lots of flesh showing.
Here is the listing of violent incidents from the Google map:

Essex Road
I’ve just returned from Hackney riots and was ambushed just off Essex Road and had my bike snatched by a group of six masked teenagers waiting on Ecclesbourne Road who were shouting “take the bike, take the bike”.
I was forced to swerve away from them but crashed to the ground. Just as one of the thieves grabbed my bike from under me a red van raced screeched around the corner and smashed into a parked car. Two young men then got out and the man in passenger seat then put his hand in his pocket and threatened to pull a on knife on the thieves, accusing them of stealing his bike earlier.
