The Rioting Continues

In my last post I mentioned how I walked through a riot to get home from class. Fortunately this was early, because since then all manner of chaos has broken out. The Russians have been rampaging through the streets of Tallinn, smashing windows, looting and destroying shops, bars and restaurants. The government sent text messages to everyone yesterday telling them not to leave their houses. On Thursday night one person was killed when one of the Russian rioters stabbed another one. The street where I lived when I was studying here in 2004 was devastated.

In Australia the riots have made The Age, The Australian and the Herald Sun.

If you want to see more pictures take a look here.

Mr Harry Highpant is on the money again, lets hope he secured a small size Hugo Boss 1970s shirt for his next visit to Kaheksa.
