london burns


every minute updates are sent from around the city about burning and looting. twitter.
violence erupts in so many of the place-names we memorised and walked through in a city that seemed to my naive tourist eyes to be an agreeable multicultural mix of people. 
'too good to be true', i thought to myself. 
was i somehow denying the real meaning of the surveillance cameras at every street corner watching every single move that anyone makes- in case... 
these turned out to be ludicrously ineffective when all it took for them to be defunct was a mask made out of a piece of cloth. 
young men rebel- as they will / should?
i do not know enough to comment.
