London Riots: Courts & Police fail, Dalston Turkish & Kurdish shop owners Honored

Many shopkeepers and their families defended Kingsland Road in Dalston over the past two nights after rioters went on a rampage in Hackney.
Hundreds reportedly gathered to protect their businesses and properties, alledgedly carrying broken billiard cues for protection.
"They created a barrier and chased the kids back," Burcu Bay, who works as a waitress at Tugra, a Turkish sweet shop and cafe on Dalston's main thoroughfare, was quoted as saying by The Wall Street Journal today. "It was like being in a war."
Many members of the Dalston and wider Hackney community have shared their support for the shopkeepers on Twitter. Some commented that we should now be shopping in the grocery stores to show our support.
"Thank Turk It's Saturday" encourages people in Dalston to pay back the shopkeepers by giving them custom.

Bit late to think of covering your face after arrest charge and court appearance. Seriously we need to build more prisons and get these idiots off our streets. Locked they can't commit crime, harass the hard working majority or more importantly breed and produce the next generation of brain damaged underclass.
