London Riots August 2011. Unreal. But it is. I’ve always thought the British were a very civilized people. And the British I know personally ARE very civilized people… too polite to a fault. But not these British and other British in London and parts of the UK where all mayhem, looting and random violence is taking place right now.

I’ve been to London twice, but that was a long time ago. My wife was scheduled to go to London April but cancelled and we did our family road trip. She re-booked her flight for 1st week of August 2011 just for the miles, but of course she really had no plans of going. And good thing she did not.
Why would anyone in his right mind now want to go touristing in London now that London’s youth has shown its true character? Much different from the old guard. This is London’s youth? The future? Looks like NO FUTURE to me.
Now take the case of Malaysian 20 year old student Ashraf Haziq. He was biking. His bike yanked from him. He gets beaten up. Jaw broken. Bleeding. He is “helped” up while his back pack was being ransacked of whatever it was worth.
Now I’ve seen smooth pick pockets, even in Paris, they were smooth. But these ANIMALS are unbelievable, with zero human decency!
Malaysian student Mohammed Ashraf Haziq, 20, was robbed in broad daylight during riots in Hackney by a gang who pretended to help him to his feet. Instead, they stole a mobile phone and wallet from Mr Haziq’s rucksack as he stood heavily bleeding, in scenes which symbolized the thuggery of the London riots.

and a commentary by a young Arab woman who tells it like it is:
It is clear to me now that London and wherever these animal rioters rampaged in the UK, are now blacklisted in my tourist visits.
