STUPID RIOTING IDIOTS
The owners of a 140-year-old family furniture store were devastated today after seeing the charmed remains of the building that fell victim to the riots last night.
House of Reeves has stood on the same corner in Croydon, south London, for more than a century but was targeted by rioters as violence spread across the capital.
Flames ripped through the historic building and spread to neighbouring businesses as firemen battled desperately to quell the inferno.
But today it was looked likely that the damage which was 'worse than the blitz' would force the ravaged building to be demolished and rebuilt.
Owner Trevor Reeves said: 'It has just provided (for) my family and the 15 or 20 staff and families that were supported, it's just completely destroyed.
'Words fail me. It's just gone, it's five generations. My father is distraught at the moment. It's just mindless thuggery.'
'Words fail me. It's just gone, it's five generations. My father is distraught at the moment. It's just mindless thuggery.'
His brother Graham told Sky News: 'Our lives are destroyed, it will probably be someone else next week. It's horrendous, 35 years I have been down here.'
He said the business was established in 1867, but he now had 'nothing', adding: 'Everything is just gone, we have just got nothing left.
'I was in the Brixton riots but this is worse. My life is destroyed.'
One eye witness said: 'The building has survived the test of time. The damage last night was worse than the blitz.
'Everything is just gone, we have just got nothing left.'

Melon Bowls
These melon shaped,textured bowls make a good breakfast dish, except you don't actually eat them. You can still eat your crappy sugar coated cereal and feel remotely good about yourself.
Good morning,
A storm cloud threatens to develop into a full blown tornado behind a cluster of family homes. Pat Kavanagh took this shot of an explosive storm from the roof of his house in Taber, Canada, last month. Expecting the sunny weather to take a turn for the worse he watched intently as the billows started spinning into a furious funnel. He says: He said: "Our area of the country seldom sees tornadoes so this was a rare sight indeed and with the rainbow underneath it, made it even more special to see." This picture was created by stitching together multiple photographs in a vertical panorama.

Although he currently lives and works in Chicago, Illinois, his time spent in Watts, Los Angeles, California where he observed the Black Power and Civil Rights movements had a significant impact on his paintings). Strongly influenced by his experiences as a young man, he developed a signature style during his early years as an artist that involved the use of extremely dark, essentially black figures. These images represent his perspective of African Americans with separate and distinct inner and outer appearances. At the same time, they confront racial stereotypes within contemporary American society.This common theme appeared continuously in his work throughout the subsequent decades, especially in the 1980's and 1990's.
While earning his BFA from Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, he worked under the notable Charles White and Arnold Mesches. At Otis, he developed his realist style after experimenting with large-scale drawings and collage, choosing instead to “mak[e] a meaningful picture that did not have a representational image or a specific story to tell,” over abstraction. Thus, Marshall still retains the political content so important to the Civil Rights Movement while painting a narrative through mural-sized pieces.
