london riots

which still does not excuse this behaviour. Low self esteem, marginalisation, dis- enfranchising or what ever you want to call it.
This is opportunism, maybe fuelled by socio-economic triggers but look at the footage, kids laughing whilst looting, and many hoods up on the hoodies. Which means they know it's wrong and don't really want to be on CCTV, and there is no grand political statement there. It's criminality.
Darcus Howe may spin it, but the same situation ( as reported) by many people here as existed in the UK for years -re. 1981 Toxteth riots.
Plain and simple wrong.
