but there were thousands rioting......not all of them were criminals

A large portion of them where, at least in a casual occasional sense. The rest are now.

Oh please.......they were mostly kids........some as young as 11. Their parents are accompanying them to court. And its taking forever to process their cases.......because........wait for it......... the court staff has been cut back under Cameron's ridiculous austerity budget.

Please drop the [ /url ] s from the end of your links, you do it all the time and it makes them more difficult to follow (although copy, paste, edit, and then pressing return works)

I don't do it.........SI does. Its a new format.......it needs tweaking.

When I have the time, I catch the error and correct it in Raw Text. Relax.

As for the content at your link, sure they are poor. And their actions are helping to keep them that way. They are destroying the economic basis of their own communities.

Again, they are kids. You expect them to think like adults. They are getting screwed and they know it.....so they lash out.

Also notice many, probably most of the rioters don't even know about the political situations you are saying they are rioting because. The rioting started because of a police shooting, not because of government spending priorities. Once they started a lot of people joined in because it provided them with an easy opportunity to steal things, or because of some twisted sense of what's fun. Then the initial police reaction was weak, and the riots spread out of control.

Tim, were you ever a kid? I am beginning to doubt it.
