    My main take away from this story as an American is...

    WTF is a Chicken Legend..? And it sounds pretty good.
    I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote.
    I found a preacher who spoke of the light, but there was Brimstone in his throat.
    He'd show me the way, according to him, in return for my personal check.
    I flipped my channel back to CNN and lit another cigarette.

    And there would still be police in Southwark, they may just have had to wait longer for reinforcement if resources were tied up elsewhere.

    I have not seen anything reliable that links the two incidents, it seems to be that some are saying x happened and y happened, therefore x caused y, but x and y do not appear to be related.

    What we know is that there was a riot in Hyde Park that spread into Marble Arch, you cannot really pin every other crime in London on that particular riot, it is a big old city.
    Not sure where Hackney is, but I guess there was also something there?

    Going by this story: http://www.newsgrio.com/articles/325...cancelled.html

    You're probably right, just a bunch of young people in the heat, with no real respect for the rules, getting out of hand in 3 locations. I don't know the demographics/ geography, but possibly some from one event lived in one of the other places, going home after first party-fail to try to party again and getting shut down.

    Just another riot caused by the Met. Nothing news-worthy.
