Forums - General Discussion - Birmingham riots (Updates will follow)

So i live in birmingham and all of a suddden there are riots spreading to here from London. As far as i know a primark has been burnt down numerous shops looted and just violence in general. I cannot yet validify any of the following rumours:

The famous bulls head has been cut off

People are locked inside pubs, the hippodrome and even the bullring itself

This also became personal for me as i have a heart condition and therefore have to go to the childrens hospital reularly and guess what.. they have attacked the childrens hospital. Thankfully the attack was reppelled but the violence continues.

Ill update as soon as things are confirmed.



Wait... does this mean im not human?

Clearly gun control works, people can't even defend their cities and homes.

Either way make sure you and your family stay safe.

Not to mention this all started when an armed gunman shot a cop. Gun control isn't even keeping guns out of the hands of the badguys...



Not Happy about this! I live in Birmingham as well, I'm ok, I'm fairly far outside the city. Enough to be safe anyway. My girlfriend lives a little closer, but in a nice area and in a house in a secure area, so she should be fine too hopefully. I'm worried about my office at my University, it's right in the bloody city center in a less than inconspicuous building (one with a very large glass wall). I'm half expecting to go in tomorrow to find my PC and my equipment has been nicked.

Most of these people seem to be prepubescent boys though.



geez, stay safe chris.



Here's a regularly updated blog my friend posted too http://birminghamriots2011.tumblr.com/.

Most of it seems to be rumours, so I'll take them with a pinch of salt. Apart from where there are photos, of course (They broke into mofoing Cyber candy! I love that place! I go there every evening while I wait for my bus!).



Sad times here in the U.K and very worrying to hear it's spread stay safe guys
