Mini Riot Last Night?

MHP · October 2018

Anyone else witness the mini riot last night? Hoards of teens running through Stapleton Hall Road, throwing paint, smashing cars apparently. I saw a load try and cram onto a W3 bus, obviously without paying, causing the bus to be at standstill for a good 20 mins. Eventually a helicopter was heard overhead and it seem to disperse. Oh the joys of city life!!

Hi - do you have any more information on this? Did anyone else see it? Thanks.

There’s a little bit on Twitter, not much. Apparently they tried to loot Costcutters in Crouch Hill

aliceh88 · October 2018

oh no what a shame! What can i type in to get the twitter thread?

Shocking stuff. I'm just wondering what caused it? And of course, where were the police?!!

What or who were they throwing the bottles at?

CrouchPotato · October 2018

They raided Budget Supermarket of sweets and were fought out when they tried to take the booze. The bottles were aimed in the direction of the shop. Also heard that a couple of people were relieved of their mobile phones and that fireworks were set off at the petrol station.

No way to catch those useless teenagers unfortunately...can't be believe that kind of event would happen in our neighbourhood.

HolbornFox · October 2018

Well there is one way to catch them, the people in the three pubs 5 yards away could have come out.

“Up to 100” = about 15. Nontheless, not enough police, not enough borstals.

What about the parents. These kids should all be tucked up in bed at that tome it was a school night

Scruffy · October 2018

Made me laugh that the report called these thugs “children”. Might as well blame the grandparents for bringing up rhe parents so badly. Oh yes, to say nothing of the great-grandparents, and the great-great-gr…

Kids or not it struck me that if they did that in Green Lanes they would have got a (deserved) good hiding, so who are the fools that they are on the rampage in Stroud Green?

CrouchedHillHiker · October 2018

Looks like the lot that where having a party in the old Stroud Green station house / old mind building. They were a bit rowdy when I passed by just after 9pm with a fair few smoking the old herbal tobaco on the green of holy trinity. They were walking in the middle of Stapleton Hall and Ferme Park roads, nearly being hit by cars and buses a few times.

Wonder if there is any link between this lot and the group of kids on bikes heading up the middle of Evershot Road around 5.30 pm yesterday with hoods zipped up, some wearing balaclavas and others scarves across faces? A woman was chased or mugged on Corbyn Street shortly after...

MHP · October 2018

That makes sense now re the party in the station house, I just couldn’t nt work out why so many were coming from that direction..quite a sedate area of SG!!

therattle · October 2018

There was a woman mugged on Corbyn St - she had her phone snatched by a man on a bike and chased him on foot, unsuccessfully.

MHP · October 2018

Lets be honest the police response time was rubbish, I know someone who called them at 10.30, they could have prevented the looting at the supermarket if they were on the ball. I bet no arrests made either.

"100 Youths?" Good Lord! Who would have thought that Evening Standard reporters were so full of sh…?

Ali · October 2018

Just following their leader

joust · October 2018

and they wonder why newspapers are dying out.

frentzen · October 2018

Yeah I also wonder what caused it. Maybe poor education and a CLEARLY failed parenting? I mean who raised these animals (sorry I don't feel like calling them "kids")?

dbopenlock · October 2018

The English are getting more violent

joust · October 2018

I feel like its less violent out there than it was in the 90s.
Or maybe I'm just getting older.

The graph in this BBC article would suggest you are right. But then I haven't actually read it. Maybe they've changed the way they record such things.

There were at least 20 teenagers on the run down stroud green road today around 5pm having stolen fireworks from the shop next to mind.... there was also reports of two teens stealing from shops on the high street around 1pm, also running off with goods...

adrienbe · October 2018

But where are they coming from?? I can't believe they live in the area.

MHP · October 2018

Oh no...not again

Howdy, Stranger!
