Well, I have no better explanation for the content of your posts at the moment.. so in a way, yes, I am afraid I do, sort of.. nothing personal here of course, there were others expressing similar (even much stronger) views here.
I already said I admire you personally for what you have been able to do for yourself, but you simply can't measure others with the same criteria you used on yourself. I could go astray myself many times, but I didn't.
Yes, c'est la vie but, as a society we should know and do better than that and ensure the more or less equal start for everyone - we can surely afford it, especially if by doing so we can avoid situations like this one in London (and possibly elsewhere) in the future.
Now, don't get me wrong, by NO means I approve of those things.
Like some others here I am just trying to understand and help explain the reasons for those events, one reason being, I definitely don't want to see similar events happening in my neighbourhood (neither anywhere else).
However I don't think that just saying "everybody is responsible for his/her actions and consequences that follow" (as it makes perfect sense from the legal point of view, of course) will really help to understand the roots of the problem and help avoid consequences we are talking about.
Again, in my life I saw many examples of very successful people who would not stand a chance even here in Australia, because of their background and/or financial situation.
On the other hand, I also saw couple of hopeless cases.. it turned out what they really needed was medical (psychiatric) assistance.
