ST PAULS .BRISTOL. 1980 part 1 of 5

HERE IS A PART 1 OF A 5 PART VIDEO ABOUT ST PAULS BRISTOL IN AUTUMN OF 1980 6 MONTHS AFTER THE RIOT . WE USED TO DO WHAT WE LIKE WITH THE POLICE THEY WOULD HAVE TO BACK DOWN MOST OF THE TIME . UNTIL CRACK APPEARED YEARS LATER IN THE AREA IT WAS ALMOST A NO GO AREA . DIVIDE & CONQUER. NOW THE ONCE CLOSE KNIT COMMUNITY HAS ALL BUT GONE . BIG UP ST PAULS WE RAN THINGS FOR MANY YEARS.......MOST OF THE PEOPLE AT THE END OF THIS VIDEO OUTSIDE THE COURT ARE THE 16 THAT WERE ON TRIAL FOR THE RIOT THEY WERE ARRESTED FOR WHO THEY WERE AND NOT FOR WHAT THEY HAD DONE . THEY HAD 17 NAMES DOWN FOR IT I WAS THE 17TH I HID OUT IN LONDON FOR A YEAR TILL ALL THE CHARGES WERE DROPPED AGAINST THE 16 ...BIG UP THE 16
