The Riots

I get this bad feeling that Holloway might kick off tonight.

I experienced a genuine fear that I haven't felt in a long time on my way home from work. Just at the top of Parkhurst Rd near Holloway Rd, there were a few guys hanging around; mid 20s, black, hoods up. One in particular was very large and had a bandanna covering his face so that you could only see his eyes. When those eyes turned to me, I felt a long, cold chill go down my spine.

Nothing happened there though, and closer to home I found a couple of cops hanging around. That made me feel a lot better. Hopefully this madness will end soon.
