    It's pretty clear what would happen if we were ever hit with a natural disaster.
    People would just go out, not thinking about others at all and just destroy everything and nick stuff and most likely wind up killing people if there's not much stopping them.
    It's sad but now if i think about anything happening in the UK, it looks as if it'd be every man for himself and things would get really dangerous because of stupid thugs going around like they're better than everyone else.
    Everything would just fall apart.

    All this rioting is stupid. The magority of people probably don't even care about the so called reason for why they're doing it. They just want to cause destruction and be involved with all of it.
    Grr...it's annoying me.
    Luckily where i am there hasn't been much happening. There were rumors that some riots started in the town centre but i don't know if it actually happened or not.

    Well, it seems like it's okay here at Wolverhampton at the moment - I'm gonna keep my eye on Sky News for information.

    I managed to get on there but there wasn't anything about wolverhampton on there, it concentrated on Birmingham.

    I tried the Express and Star website but I couldn't get on it either.

    I know, its destroying their businesses and homes. The people looting and rioting are ruining their own country/cities, it's hard to believe that this is happening during the 21st century in our usually reasonable country.

    Your right. The Express & Star website is down, I've been trying to find stuff on there but I didn't see anything earlier and now it wont work. I might look at some of the people on twitter.

    I feel the same, there are people who are loosing so much in these riots and they wont get any of it back.

    It's all just going to escalate unless people get the facts, I think. I've been following @SuptPayneWMP to see what's been going on, he seems to be pretty mellow about it and also I've been checking @KICfm to see what they're saying about this.

    I just feel bad for the areas that have been hit hard by this like London and Birmingham.

    I was told that the police have been in meetings incase there were riots here and there will be a lot of them out tonight because it looks like its going to b worse then.

    The radio was saying that nothing much has happened here and that people are going into panic mainly because of Facebook and Twitter but they might just be trying to calm people down.

    I know, there have been rumours flying back and forth over what's going on here and it's difficult to find out what's really going on.

    I think that the police are doing the best they can considering the circumstances and from what I've gathered, they were prepared in case anything did happen here.

    Apparently Wolverhampton isn't that bad, there is trouble but a lot of it is being exagerated.
    And the police's hands are tied, there isn't much they can do and everyone involved knows it.
