On 6th of august 2011 a terrible incident happened in history of UK. Some protestors came out in London and they got violent. Later on many people joined them and they converted into riots. It was started on 6th and it was stopped on 11th of august. The reason of this protest was that a police officer shot a person mistakenly because he was carrying a gun. Protestors made a huge mess in the main cities of UK they were stealing shops, malls; they destroyed the infrastructure which costs millions of pounds. London riots started from London and later on it covered the big cities of UK. UK lost a huge amount of money in this incident. In my opinion government should take a serious action again the riots because messing and destroying public properties is not legal whether they are protestors so they should protest with a peaceful manner. And social media played an important role in London riots because many people were encouraging other people to come out and join the protest which was a cause of big disturbance in the UK.
