I kept watching to see if he got home safely. But if he doesn't care, why should I?
He's just walked up to the coppers who have been at it with the mob said hello then walked back through the locals who have given other people filming a kicking .....back to his car
He must be incredibly stupid or be very handy
One of the burnt-out cars belonged to a disabled woman - all she could do was watch them set fire to it . (from the BBC report)
Mindless yobs
Damage your neighbours property, yea that will show them.
Idiots the lot of them, they think they can do what they want. So often I see Cardiff Bus have to stop routes when it’s dark because of anti social issues in Ely.
Horrendous scenes, must be horrible for residents waking up this morning, knowing they've got neighbours capable of that mindless destruction
Police statement -

Must be tough on the elderly and vulnerable.
Wish we could use water cannon and gas cannisters like a lot of European countries.
Sad that 2 young people died there. Social media rumours to blame for the aftermath it seems. Sorry business all round.
On a wider point, I was in Bristol recently and witnessed motorised scooters weaving in and out of rush hour traffic, no helmets, no protection. These 2 in Ely won't be the last unfortunately.
I see loads of Surron-style electric scramblers being driven by kids without helmets, they hit speeds of 50mph+ and don't tend to stop at red lights. They are silent and look like normal bikes from a distance so much easier to manage than the traditional noisy scramblers.
At the risk of sounding like a miserable old git these electric scooters are a right old pain.
The concept is fine but, generally speaking, once you add human beings into the equation it all falls down.
Excessive speeding on the pavements is a given and woe betide you if you don't have the reflexes of an Olympic gymnast in terms of getting out of the way.
I noticed that several rail companies have now banned them on the basis of a fire risk but judging by my commute this morning that is being ignored as widely as the other laws relating to their use.
On the plus side cyclists can now be seen as almost paragons of virtue compared to the scooter brigade.
Before I get accussed of being Clarkson in disguise I fully acknowledge that car drivers are seemingly now all coked up as well.
Aren’t these scooters banned from roads and pavements?
