I Agree With You
This wasn't political - it wasn't a "days of rage" scenario. It was a crime-spree, pure and simple.
Mind - it was social. For most of them, it was the best night out they'd ever had...
Cheers

Then it's not a 'just no'.
Quote from above: this isn't a protest against disenfranchisement, lack of opportunities, piss-poor education, lack of political representation and cultural alienation but it is BECAUSE of those things that there are gangs of lunatics running about smashing up shops and thieving everything in sight.

ok yeah
i'll admit to reacting badly to the impression that it's trying to find a worthy excuse for the rioting, rather than addressing the point properly.
