my two cents
Just happened to be in town on Saturday afternoon, saw the start of the riot, thought it would be a good idea to go home & get the good camera. Fired off about two rolls using various settings - these are some of the better ones.

Have to say there is something about standing in front of a riot squad with a camera, especially when one of their lads is filming you filming them.

I've no particular comment to make about the whole thing, there has ben enough said about it to fill a libray already, I just thought I'd share the pictures.

Their windows still havent been replaced, still boarded up. Times must be hard for the PSs. I would like to take this opportunity to make an appeal to the business community to give to the needy. The PDs reduced Capital Gains Tax to 20 %, Company Tax to 12 1/2 %, Isnt it time you gave something back?
