    Everything's fine in Wales. England are even borrowing Welsh riot vans because they don't have enough. Still, it's rather unsettling to know that the police force is that stretched.

    Do riots occur more over the seas than in the States?

    (Not sure, I think I may have to do research and check the news about what's happening where you guys are.)

    Kind of reminds me of the French riots of 1968 that brought down the government, though they actually had a motive.

    I can't believe this huge mess started over one protest gone wrong o.o it just seems like people are burning everything for the sake of burning now. It's senseless. Why, really? are people just going crazy just because?

    If some starts a protest about something it takes one bad person to loot or break something. Then 2 others start and then 8 start. It just snowballs and now there are riots. I hate when people go and do stuff like this. The world that I know is slowly being destroyed.

    Well I HOPE all you English bronies stay safe and that the riots end soon........wait end soon, I mean I want them to end now.

    This is a very dire development. I hope it is resolved quickly and everyone remains safe.

    I know, right? I actually found out Amy Winehouse had died on EPR chat. EveryPony has already replaced Google as my homepage, and it's also got most of my favourite videos from YouTube. How long before it replaces every site ever?!

    Hope you stay safe Grey. It's not all of London plagued with riots, it's mostly the parts that were pretty dangerous to begin with.

    Some places were set on fire in Canton in Cardiff (where me and Luprony live) and a JD Sports in Cardiff Bay was smashed into and looted. That's all that's happened in Cardiff so far I believe, unless anything has developed the three days I've been away.

    I heard it happened, and I smelled smoke the night it did happen. But to be honest I don't really care what happens outside unless it affects what's going on on here.

    And I'm being completely srs.
