London Riots

It is making me sick reading about it online. My old neighborhood has been vandalized. The grocery store I use to go to, the movie theater.  I met many of the shop owners, who became my good friends, walking up and down those same streets, with my latte and dogs in the morning.   

My friends in the nice areas of town, like Chelsea, are also on lock down ... just in case.  The stores along Oxford Street are being bored up, as are the stores around the neighborhood high (main) streets.  

Police advising people not to be out on the streets "unless absolutely necessary."  I hope the police start advising the use of water cannons.  


I could write more on "why" I think this is happening, but right now, I just want to make sure my loved ones are safe.  Will post when I know something ... hopefully all positive somethings.
