Smashed Starbucks in Soho


Protestors from a rally against Israeli military actions in Gaza last Saturday "smashed and looted" two Starbucks in London because of rumors on the internet that the US coffee chain donates funds to Israel - an accusation  it strongly denies. 

Here is a picture I took with my iPhone as I walked past one of the ransacked Starbucks on Shaftsbury Ave in Soho. A big, largely confused crowd had gathered outside the store while the police were conducting their investigations inside. The sign advertising some new coffee flavour/product in the window now seems quite ironic with the pieces of broken cups in the foreground, 

"Creat your moment of goodness."
