Беспорядки в Лондоне
Я втроой день смотрю на британские газеты, а CNN News не дают ни одного заголовка на тему, удивительно.

Кто первый начал, пока не выяснили. Или полиция застрелила чувака, у которого был при себе пистолет, но он им не пользовался, или чувак начал стрелять первым.
Теперь мародерство и поджоги.
