Well? What shocked you most about the riots last year and all?

[Vicky.]

How quickly they spread.

It was just one area one second, and then suddenly it was literally all over the country.

Also the fact that newcastle DIDNT riot. That really did shock me. Especially knowing that the messages were sent out asking people to arrange to meet up for one...just noone turned up :S

[Black Dagger]

The fact the morons actually started them in the first place.

[arista]

The Criminal Thugs they showed yesterday on the news,
that attacked loads of shops and people.


Some got 9 years


Punks

By the way, is anybody watching The Briefs on ITV1 tonight? On at 21.00. It shows lawyers interviewing the idiots who took part in the riots and all that.

Oh yeah...and some gay couple whose fight ended up in a police station, but I'm obviously on about the riots.

[Kizzy]

I was surprised leeds city centre wasen't affected.

Do you live in Leeds, kizzy?

[Kizzy]

yep, great city

[Redway]

Anywhere where Nicola Adams lives is a great city for sure.

[Patrick]

Considering I live in a City that has an annual riot every Summer - nothing. And I don't know why you lot are still talking about them, Jesus.

Perhaps because what we have now is virtually a one-year anniversary of the events?

[Ninastar]

that's the street with Mcdonalds and Bella Italia, right Kizzy? and then Primark is up the way and on the right?

[Livia]

What surprised me most is that some people said the riots were in protest at the police shooting and not an opportunity to smash things up and get free stuff... and that some people actually bought that.

I think there is a pub called The Ship along there somewhere as well

[Smithy]

someone throwing a nokia, just plain dangerous

[Niall]

I just thought it was insane at how they happened, like all this pent up rage just exploded from no-where. The way they raged on and on for days was just as mad omfg.

[GypsyGoth]

One of the things that shocked me the most was the amount of lawless people there are. I used to think that people are good, well not all of course, sure there the ones who have wonky brains and think society is something to be exploited.

But I thought that even if there were no police the majority would behave good, that people would look out for each other.

Also it surprised me how fragile this world is, even the great modern cities. Although maybe since there are loads of people with very little and some with a lot, I guess that injustice will eventually manifest itself.

Another shock is that people still carry Nokias around.
