Wonderful. This can progress from looting to race riots very quickly.
Talk about a black swan. I did not expect this to appear in the UK yet, and certainly not in this form.
And of course the lies come undone. First they said Mark Duggan shot at the police.
UK shooting victim did not fire at police

The UK's Independent Police Complaints Commission has found no evidence that Mark Duggan, the man whose death sparked the revolts, shot at police. The police force has been criticised for the way it has dealt with Mr Duggan's family, in the wake of his death.
With rioting also now on record recently in Bristol and Liverpool, a far-right group that inspired Norwegian terror bomber Anders Behring Breivik said its members also were hitting the streets to take over where police had failed.
Stephen Lennon, leader of the English Defense League, told The Associated Press that up to 1,000 members planned to turn out in Luton, England, where the group is based, and elsewhere.
"We're going to stop the riots -- police obviously can't handle it," Lennon told the AP.

And the US has already had flash mob attacks. Throw in a good blackout, and a lot more trouble could erupt quite suddenly in many different places.
