London's Long Burn

An outbreak of arson, looting and lawlessness caught Britain and its leaders by surprise. Why they should have seen the troubles coming.

The Standard link below comments on how this is started.

Bostons newspaper published some of the photos taken at that time, it is very sad to view it but we have to see it, so that will give us glue and how we interpret it.

There are several things happens in our world today such as  natural disasters, famines, wars, economy recessions, killing of innocent people, and the Riots in London. What is happen in our world today?

Outcast and Outraged: The looting was not, as some observers too swiftly concluded, a race riot. Yes, Duggan was balck, and there are strong correlations between race and class in Britain. But some of the worst violence happened in majority white neighborhoods like Croydon. This is much broader than race. This is about a whole group.- black, white, brown who live just outside the law.

In my own opinion, I think all of these happens because of each individual and how they communicates with one another. The communication between locals and the government is fail here. The message is not clearly received by the locals because of poor communication. Not just communication is failed BUT people's values, beliefs and culture are not fully understand by others. It was a good alert for everyone to fully understand other people's culture and how we interrogating it. In the begining God create the Universe and HE saw it was Good, He created the first human and gave him the authority (the first role) to look after it. What is happen now? The beautiful world is badly damage by human beings, because in my own understanding the communication between the created human beings and their CREATOR is completely fail. NOT by the Creator, but all of us, created human beings. Once we fail our communication with God, we end up ignoring others (neighbours) and we still continuing to do what we think is right, it will end up affecting others.
