"Let me completely condemn these sickening scenes; scenes of looting, scenes of vandalism, scenes of thieving, scenes of people attacking police, of people even attacking firefighters. This is criminality pure and simple and it has to be confronted"

This quote by David Cameron is a strong condemnation of the recent scenes of looting, vandalism, thieving, and attacks on police and firemens. He is making it clear that these acts are not acceptable and must be challenged. He is stressing that these are criminal acts and need to not be endured. He is also sending a message that those who are accountable for these acts will be held accountable for their actions. He is sending out a strong message that these acts of violence and damage will not be endured which those responsible will be taken to court. This quote is a pointer that we need to all interact to guarantee that these acts of violence and destruction are not repeated.
