Around 300 people in Wythenshawe civic centre looting the shops there. Police say it is on lock down. Rumours that Asda was on fire but that is not true. Large police presence now and the smell of petrol and burning but no fires now.
Pray for local residents who are fearful and scared.
Pray for people who are in the civic centre.
Pray for police and others trying to restore calm and peace.
God help us - what is happening in our nations?
We pray and act for peace with justice in our communities and in our economics...job and food poverty is violence. Violence often breeds violence but Jesus speaks of life for everyone - life with hope. What does it mean tonight with helicopters overhead and the smell of petrol in our streets and windows smashed everywhere...
