RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 I used to go to Rockbottom for band rehearsals in the 90's. Shame Quote

Such a shame - hope RockBottom can get back on it's feet Quote
AndyZed750 Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-ENsB_dpR0"]Rockbottom looted[/url] I really hope the owner has not seen this clip because it must hurt and anger so much to watch these tossers happily wandering about with all the guitars amps and anything else they can carry away from his shop.

KK Jale Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) This vid won't surprise him. Apparently a looter got trapped downstairs at Rockbottom (with buildings on each side on fire). Owner Carl was outside and eventually persuaded police to let him go in and get the guy. So he literally walked in WHILE dozens were in the act of looting his shop, got the guy, then walked back out again. Word is the insurance is OK. Hope they can get back on their feet.

If I went in, I do not thing it would be to help him out exactly, I'm afraid. Edited August 11, 2011 by mcnach Quote
KingBollock Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 And next year, when they've spent the money they've made from selling this stuff on booze and McDonalds, they'll wait for some meagre excuse to do it all again. It makes me so angry, and the feeling of not being able to do anything about it makes it worse. Quote
