Inside the next 15 minutes, the online tom tom has done its work and there's several hundred. More police arrive, not enough though. Heavy firework bombs are being set off, Cobras and similar explosives. A tram gets set alight. 6 platoons of riot police arrive and things quieten down quickly.

Tuesday. Police release the photos of the 5 "most wanted" from last week's fighting. Their faces blurred. They have until Friday to hand themselves in or their faces will be published. They have photos of around 50 others, who hadn't been as violent as these 5. Anybody suspecting they might be one of the 50 can turn themselves in between now and Friday. All of the photos will be released Friday, along with any new faces that have been paired to offences.
All day Tuesday, more online chatter that there will be more rioting that evening. Come darkness there's a medium to large police presence with the riot police close at hand on standby. There's a fair few people on the square and the streets around it. They are fathers who live in the area and street coaches, all of whom know the local youth and are trusted by them. The local youth is nowhere to be seen. Probably told by their parents to stop the rioting. The square has a huge daily market. Almost all of the stallholders are either immigrants themselves or are descendants of immigrants. The market closed 3 hours early due to the threatened violence. One vegetable stallholder said he'd have to throw at least half of his unsold produce away. From 4 o'clock in the afternoon, there was no public transport in the area, for obvious reasons.

My view is that, now they see that their actions are negatively affecting "their own", the rioting will stop. Some will have decided that for themselves, some will be under strict parental instructions. I sincerely hope I'm right.
Good to hear.
My concern with radical Islam, is that far too many young born in the west, are becoming the real problem. They are/ have been indoctrinated and are readily lapping up the extremists stance.
They desire a recreation of the oppressive regimes, their forebears emigrated away from.
Mosques are the problem, as that is where the programming starts. Catch em young, they sponge it in.

This piece of work needs locking up for life
