If you are not up to speed on UK news then the biggest thing going on right now has been the trial of Mark Duggan's death. On Wednesday, a jury concluded Mr Duggan was lawfully killed when he was shot dead by police in August 2011, sparking riots in many English cities. This has been extremely controversial especially since the evidence suggested and in turn jurors also determined that Mark was not armed when shot by police and that he threw the gun from taxi before police confronted him. Surely, shooting an unarmed man is unlawful? Yet I cannot argue with the jury's decision, that is our fair judicial system after all. The Duggan Family along with many in the general public are unhappy with the verdict; the family and lawyers state they will fight the jury's decision "through the courts."

This will surely lead to further debates. My eldest brother posted a status on Facebook about the verdict which started an ongoing discussion, with my other brother chipping in on the action. I have to say I am very proud to have such knowledgeable passionate brothers. Well done lads, love your little sis. Check out the discussion at the following link:
