It's a bit odd that even after three days, hundreds of arrests and what I'm sure is thousands of people feeling terrible about what's happening, things are still going on. It kind of almost reminds me of the Vancouver riots after the Bruins won the Stanley Cup (heh) but then people started cleaning up and spray painting "THIS ISN'T US" on everything. (That's also Canada, but still.)
I'm studying abroad in London in the fall so I've been keeping a close eye on the news, and it's scary. One of my friends had to be sent home early from class because all abroad students had to be ushered to safety if they worked/had class in the area with the riots. I hope your family remains safe and you remain safe!! According to what I saw on BBC this morning it's starting to quiet down but, I'm not anywhere near the trouble, so you know better than I do.
