And scary as it expanded outward from the epicenter.<br /><br />And the thing that stuck out was the (lack of) intelligence by the rioters... let's go out and destroy our own community. There were even some that took advantage it... getting themselves 'free stuff'.<br /><br />Some shop owners stood by, overwhelmed and saddened as they watched people who had shopped in their store as customers now running in to rob it. They did not rebuild their hard earned business', their own livelihoods, in those same neighborhoods. And who can blame them.<br /><br />Those rioting made claims similar to those in London but it had nothing to do with any statements, political or otherwise, they just wanted to destroy & steal what they weren't willing to work for. <br /><br />My sympathies were with those terrified, hard working people stuck in the middle who lost everything and were (are) decent enough people that they felt they had to be ashamed because of the actions of others.David Teterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747334525619423349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-40109616570697419052011-08-11T17:32:45.073+00:002011-08-11T17:32:45.073+00:00Thankfully you and your family are safe.

She is prepared to cancel and stay in Brussels, but hopes that won't be necessary. Unsettling times for all of you there.Prairie painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15941114768160314697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-73363506231874092712011-08-11T14:43:09.548+00:002011-08-11T14:43:09.548+00:00Glad you are safe and sound Katherine.

Just hearing about it thousands of miles away took me back to the riots here in the 70's and going to school with police in full riot gear roaming the halls. Even that didn't stop the craziness.Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06080978332411185223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-4349664616972948192011-08-11T12:36:51.913+00:002011-08-11T12:36:51.913+00:00I'm so glad to know things are settling down. ...I'm so glad to know things are settling down.

It was a terrible time to be a Londoner!<br />I have never felt so vulnerable in my life as I felt on Monday night.<br />I am so happy things are settling down now. <br />Thanks for your Google map entry that helped me so much to know where and when things were happening.adebanjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12832505675979297771noreply@blogger.com
