Section 3(News)- In 2011 a man in Tottenham called Mark Duggan was shot by the police after he was carrying a weapon and didn’t stop after being told to. This then spread to gangs all over England and caused riots to start. This was not the only reasons why riots spread. Other reasons were: government cuts and taxes not helping anyone.
The riots got worse by day and shops were vandalised, smashed then looted of all its valuable items. In Croydon a famous furniture shop called Reeves corner ,which has been a family business for ages, was burnt down!
People were forced to leave their homes and even on the streets people were being mugged and all their goods being stolen.
The other news story I have about young people being a bad group is the murder of a child called Rhys Jones. Rhys was 11 years old and was coming back from football training in Liverpool(Reece had just left primary school and was goin to Secondary school and he was known as a popular kind student). As he was coming back he was approached by an 18 year old called Sean Mercer who shot him in the back. Sean was then arrested on the 16 December 2008.
