What set the riots off? I thought I read something about the someone living in a low income housing project being killed by UK police. (Very vague I know) Or was that the 1985 incident? Edit: Nevermind the last bit. BBC news website FINALLY came back online. Mr Duggan, 29, whose death sparked the first riots in Tottenham, died from a single bullet wound, an inquest heard. Mr Duggan, a father of four, was shot in Ferry Lane, Tottenham, north London, on Thursday, as specialist firearms officers attempted to make an arrest.

Re: London riots
From what I've read the Police claim he was a gang leader/drug dealer who got into a shoot out with them and was killed the rioters claim he was a father of 4...

No evidence as yet that the gun was fired. No mention of a gang/drug link. Duggan's firearm was NOT a replica and was illegal. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-14459516 I'm going to wait for a few more facts to come in.

Re: London riots
Lord Sugar needs to sort out this mess. 4th night in a row. From what I see they're just destructive youths looking for trouble and/or free stuff.
