Wrong place, wrong time, but easy to get it wrong - like the lad charged with looting, whose mum said "he'd only gone in there for a look" - I guess the innocent get caught up with the guilty at these times.
My personal opinion is, people should'nt have been anywhere near where the trouble was. Yes I know there were innocent people passing just trying to go home .. but if you're loitering & having a nosy in the thick of it .. then you're going to get caught up in it!
