What was the most shocking individual outbreak of violence in Britain during the riots this summer? For me, it was the occasion in the early hours of August 6th when 10 highly politically motivated individuals are said to have travelled from all across the country towards a highly sensitive building associated with the cause of a persecuted ethnic minority located far away in Bristol, having seemingly believed certain debatable rumours circulating online about the place.
When they arrived, video footage shows the ideologically motivated extremist group in question appearing to smash through the structure’s gates in a vehicle, before smashing and vandalising several items of valuable property they found lying around inside. Some of their number then reportedly proceeded to begin assaulting police at the scene with a sledgehammer, leaving one with “back injuries”, whilst the other “received on-site treatment from paramedics after being hit on the back of the legs”. One female officer ended up hospitalised: appropriately enough, one of the alleged vandals present was a scriptwriter for the BBC’s Casualty and Doctors soap opera series. Police later confiscated several other rather Castlevania-sounding weapons, including whips and axes, from the scene of the reported crime.
