Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has spoke out about the ongoing riots in Britain. The actor who was in London shooting for his upcoming movie `Housefull 2` is shocked to see the extent of violence and destruction happening in the UK.
The 43-year-old wrote a heartfelt post on his Facebook page echoing the thoughts of many people:
"It is so shocking only weeks after filming HOUSEFULL 2 in London, that London and England is now being destroyed by its very own misled youths. The circumstance for which these horrific riots came about is very sad, but this is no way to handle vengeance.
I have friends in London restricted to their homes for fear of being robbed or caught in fire blasts on their way to work or shopping.
The world is suffering enough, Africa is dying of thirst, the Middle East is on full alert, India is getting over its own terror attacks, but good old England the very country so many rely on is being battered by its own angered youngsters who have threatened & abused the very city that has taken care of them!!
I really hope everyone back in England keep themselves as well as their families safe. Stay low for a while or if u want fight back, but safely, it is your prerogative after all...
People this is not the way to make your voice heard, i understand why people are angry but in this day and age how do humans still react the same way cave men once did...
Lets all take care of our countries, they may not work exactly how we want them to but they keep us safe/warm/clothed/employed (most of the time) ...
Love and Prayers to all mankind..."
It is now the 6th day into the riots and there are two clear views forming within communities. Some blame the unrest largely apportioned to the police or government cuts. While others blame the youths involved in the looting saying that they are simply opportunists taking their chance to steal.
