Justice is dispensed down the barrel of a gun, the verdict is never challenged and the victim is mourned fleetingly in badly spelt floral tributes and inane posts on Facebook.

Responsible people do it differently. We have police officers who investigate, lawyers who probe in court, independent juries who weigh up the evidence and use common sense to deliver a verdict.

So the decision of the seven women and three men who sat for 115 days through the Mark Duggan inquest should not lightly be gainsaid, for to do so is to undermine the foundations of our justice system.

The foul-mouthed rent-amob who ran amok through the Royal Courts of Justice smashing doors, overturning furniture and threatening staff had their own definition of justice however: to them justice is when you get the decision you want. And when the verdict goes the "wrong" way it's a green light for mayhem, with an angry mob chanting the hate anthem "No justice, no peace, **** the police" as the cameras roll outside.

Like the jury we can only go on the evidence before us. Mark Duggan, whose shooting by police in Tottenham in 2011 sparked four days of rioting, arson and looting across the country, was "a well-liked local boy" according to his family. You'd be excused for thinking the police had shot a choirboy on his way to communion.

In the witness box a police officer described Duggan as being "among Europe's most violent criminals", a member of the feared TMD gang in north London which deals in drugs, extortion and intimidation. He had repeatedly been arrested over a string of serious crimes including murder, attempted murder and various firearm offences.

He was so "well-liked" on the Broadwater Farm Estate where he lived that the police found it impossible to find anyone who would give evidence against him. Eventually if the jury's verdict is correct (and I see no reason to doubt it), justice caught up with him. A police marksman, who believed Duggan had a gun and was about to use it, shot first to protect himself and his colleagues. The officer, known only as V53, didn't pull the trigger because Mark Duggan was black. He did it because he was a dangerous criminal and lives were at stake.

Within hours the ugly underclass were out torching and robbing, spurred on by the irresponsible ravings of the far Left and, let's be honest, the not-sofar Left. Many of the loonies are still at it on Twitter, home of the mindless and the mendacious but I won't dignify their stupid comments by repeating them here (Peter Tatchell, you know who you are).

Even Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg had his liberal two-penn'orth on LBC yesterday, declaring: "Questions still need to be answered over the shooting."

What questions, for heaven's sake? An impartial jury heard 93 witnesses then reached a calm and reasoned decision by a majority of nine to one: that the police acted within the law the day Duggan died.

If the country is supposed to get upset because no guntoting, drug-peddling gangster is safe on the streets any more then forget it. There's more likely to be cheers than tears next time the police shoot to stop. Gangsters who live by the gun - even those who throw them away when the police close in - should expect to die by the gun. They are vermin whose drug-pushing threatens every decent family in the land and if the police happen to take a few out as they clean up the streets then so be it. I feel sorry for their mums but not them.

The one question that should be answered is why none of the mob who brought mayhem to the law courts was arrested and charged with a public order offence. Duggan's brother had to be restrained in court as the jury ran for safety, shouting "**** them and **** the world, what are you running for?" The answer to my question may lie in the comment by the boss of the Met Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe that the police "need to do more to build trust".

Shouldn't the onus be on the gangsters to stop pushing crack and using guns rather than on bobbies to be nice to them? Or does H-H prefer handing out sweeties to handing out justice? I'm also baffled by the vigil which is being held in Tottenham tomorrow afternoon. What peaceful end is it supposed to achieve? Why hold it outside Tottenham police station rather than, say, the Freedom Arks Church? Already other communities are being goaded into action, with "vigils" called for in Birmingham and elsewhere.

The point of these public protests is to give a show for the cameras, to give oxygen to the rabble-rousers who will inevitably be drawn in.

From outside these shores British culture is impossible to understand. An American friend of mine confessed recently he was confused by the contrast in the public reaction to the killing of Duggan and the murder of Trooper Lee Rigby by two Muslim fanatics.

"So when a criminal who they think is packing a weapon gets shot by the police, rioters burn down London. And yet an innocent soldier has his head hacked off and there's silence - no banners, no marches, no protests. What goes on in your country?" A good question. And one which I can't answer. Maybe Nick Clegg can add it to his list.

Stripped down as you've never seen her: Pictures of Tower Bridge during construction found dumped in a skip

This is one of the London's most beloved landmarks as you've never seen her before.

Stripped down to her underwear, the never before seen pictures of Tower Bridge - one of the world's most recognisable structures - have been unveiled after the stash of hundred-year-old prints were found in a skip.

Coinciding with the 125th anniversary of the bridge's foundation, the 50 sepia photos reveal in incredible detail the ingenuity behind one of the capital's most popular tourist destinations, which was the first bridge of its kind in the world.

The unique pictures, dating back to 1892, document the construction the iconic bridge, which at the time was a landmark feat of engineering nicknamed 'The Wonder Bridge'.

The discarded pictures, which were retrieved by a caretaker who was looking after a building being turned into flats in 2006, have spent the last five years in a carrier bag underneath his bed.

The 59-year-old, who wishes to remain anonymous, said that after the occupants of the Westminster office building moved out, the album and a number of documents were thrown into a skip outside.

He said: 'I took the ledgers to the Tower Bridge Museum because I thought they might have some historical value.

'They included records of the materials and used in the bridge's construction and what they cost.

'I told the man at the museum that I had also found some photos but he told me they already had plenty of those.

'I didn't know what to do with them so I wrapped them in some brown paper and put them in a bag under the bed.' It wasn't until earlier this month, when the owner of the photos mentioned them to his neighbour, City of Westminster tour guide Peter Berthoud that the significance of the find fully emerged.

Mr Berthoud, an expert in the history of London who gives guided tours around famous landmarks including Tower Bridge, said he was gobsmacked by the haul.

And contrary to popular misconception, the images reveal the bridge is a sturdy steel frame beneath the instantly recognisable stone-cladding.

Mr Berthoud said: 'When my neighbour gave me a disk with the images on I just couldn't believe it.
'I spent hours going through my books to see if these pictures were already around, but I couldn't see them anywhere - they are totally unique.

'Quite simply London Bridge is the world's most iconic bridge, and it's the only bridge over the Thames which has never needed to be replaced at some point.

'It combines elements of a suspension bridge, a high level bridge and a bascule which allows it to open for ships to pass.

'Nothing had ever been made like it before, and nothing since.

'People are always surprised when I tell them Tower Bridge is a steel bridge, as the stone cladding is so recognisable.'

According to the tour guide, the bridge's original architect, Horace Jones, wanted to clad the bridge in brick, however, following his death he was succeeded as architect by John Wolfe-Barry who decreed the bridge should be clad in stone.

Although many of the century-old pictures are in a state of disrepair, around 20 are in good condition.

Many of the 12 by 10 snaps are dated and clearly show how the bridge was put together over a space of eight years.

Memorable scenes include turn-of-the-century labourers taking orders from a site foreman in a bowler hat, and a shot if the bridge's original steam-powered engine room, which could open the bridge in less than a minute.

In one poignant picture flags decorate the body of the bridge and a hand-written pencil note reads: 'Note, flags denote Mr Hunter's wedding day'.

Mr Berthoud said: 'My favourite pictures of the simple, humble guys building the bridge, unaware that what they are making will be so historic.

'People are so used to seeing images of the Empire State Building being built, but this is part of British history being created 50 years earlier.'
