Maybe if all shops had this kind of windows, those kids would have to learn something, get a job, and BUY some stuff...

Thats really awful to see... (but nice to see that the shop was pretty okay) and I feel sorry for all decent people that have to live through riots like that.

Cannot understand the passive response from the police...

That's pretty shocking to see, but it's also funny to see that 3 man can't get into the B&O shop, how hard they try :D.

According to the Daily Mirror and others,

Its unfortunate this is happening, but I will admit - I cheered at my computer screen when the glass shield defeated those youths and seeing them chased away by police!

I'm delighted they didn't get in.  However, there was a small part of me hoping his foot would go straight through the glass and slash his leg open, hopefully trapping him there to bleed (not on their carpet obviously) until the Police arrived to drag him out.

As the owner of the Ealing showroom we thank you all for your comments and concerns. Thankfully we had laminated glass which could not be penetrated and there was no major damage to the stock or showroom. We will remain open during these times and hope to get back to normal soon.

That is very brave Stuart, just be careful. I'm sure you know of course, just a friendly reminder. We don't want to hear about a fellow BeoWorlder getting injured.
