Tallika_Fan Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Thought i'd share my sights from earlier today with the folks on the forum. Hopefully no body was caught up in this and the other carnage across the city.I heard that Peckham was rumoured to be the next site of the rioting in london earlier today. I currently live near to Peckham so this had me worried.Whilst i was walking back from work i witnessed about 6 or 7 riot vans heading toward Elephant and Castle to make their way toward Peckham, didn't have my camera out then though closer to my destination there was a lone van.A lone dog vanDSC08020 by Tallika_Fan, on FlickrGot changed quickly and swapped for the 70-300 so i could get a better view of any action then headed to where i thought things were happening. 10 minutes on the bike, it's all here.Below are a few photos from the set, which is located here: Peckham Riot August 8th 2011A crowd of people near to Peckham LibraryDSC08028 by Tallika_Fan, on FlickrA wall of riot police stationed in PeckhamDSC08036 by Tallika_Fan, on FlickrA group of hooded youths.DSC08037 by Tallika_Fan, on FlickrDebris attempting to block the roadDSC08039 by Tallika_Fan, on FlickrA stream of riot vans with a bus on fire in the background.DSC08042 by Tallika_Fan, on FlickrPeople attempting to turn around away from the busDSC08047 by Tallika_Fan, on FlickrA closer image of the bus.DSC08052 by Tallika_Fan, on FlickrA hooded and masked youth ready for violence.DSC08056 by Tallika_Fan, on FlickrA lucky escape for the driver of the lorry, youths had his door open trying to get in before he managed close it and turn around.DSC08062 by Tallika_Fan, on FlickrOn another road buses were trying to turn around.DSC08069 by Tallika_Fan, on FlickrA makeshift road blockage set to cause mayhem for innocent motorists.DSC08072 by Tallika_Fan, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty_82 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 On a side note, most insurance companies will not cover your car if it is burnt out in a riot, check the small print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So people are saying on Pistonheads anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicki Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 As funny as some of the jokes about these riots seem at first, the reality is that this is really happening, in our supposedly civilised country, at this very moment... and this is a very sobering & scary fact.They started rioting because someone got shot by the police, but now it's turned into a "woe is me, i've got nothing so I'm going to steal what I can and screw the rest of you" riot in which those who have nothing but are going out looting are winning no sympathy from the rest of the public by their actions and unfortunately, those innocent people who are honestly living off benefits and are not getting involved in the rioting will ultimately get tarred with the same brush simply because they claim benefits. Clever, eh?I really feel for my friends & family with children - what kind of a society are they forced to bring those innocent lives into?To the people involved in the riots, I quote the name of an anti-riot group on Facebook: "Smashing up your own city because you have the IQ of a ham sandwich".

Kent Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Crazy, I know a lot of the Argos stores locally closed early tonight and stepped up security. It's good to see the anti-rioter groups coming together and protecting the streets.. the police are encouraging this!!!Also, if you look on Amazon.. the top selling items are baseball bats/police style batons :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
