Pay TV news channels are giving fairly regular reports as they come in from spectators, residents and even a few of the trouble makers.
They say that many of the people involved in this nonsense are just kids hearing about it (TV, Radio, Facebook, Twitter) and joining in the mayhem just for the fun of it.
Apparently many of those involved don't know why they are being anarchistic, they are just joining in on the 'fun'.
It was announced about 2 hours ago that there will be over 13,000 police on the streets in the trouble areas tonight.
Sounds like the trouble-makers might be outnumbered
