A family affair...
Entire families are showing-up at Manchester City Centre stores being looted with their cars -and children.
And the kids are helping Mom and Pop to loot!
I've been listening since 10 a.m. Eastern in utter amazement as the situation escalates.
An MP for Manchester has stated on the air that the police knew where the most likely hot spots would be, so why weren't they pre-positioned?
Instead, the largest gangs are engaging in hit-and-run tactics, and hours later, they seem to have the advantage over the timid police, who are vastly out-numbered.
One thing is abundantly clear in listening to eyewitnesses for hours: there are thousands of people looting, not hundreds.
And more cries are being raised for the British military to get involved since the timid police tactics so far are proving completely worthless.
