Yeah, it's all about financial collapse, and nothing to do with bad little bastards.
Yes, they are disaffected, yes the future is bleak but the future is bleak for lots of people. I'm not going out to set fire to my neighbour's car and then claim it's not my fault, it's society, it's the economic crisis, it's blah, blah, blah. Fucking grow a pair and accept responsibility, It's a big sh!t sandwich and everyone has to take a bite.
You want better for yourself... then I suggest you go work for it. It doesn't get handed to you on a fucking plate. And btw just because the guy down the road worked hard and got his BMW and you don't have one doesn't give you the right to set fire to it you little cunt.
I saw this video the other day. I think it was from night 2 of the riots and some dude had his little camera out on the streets and started asking people who were trashing a Curry's (electronics store) what they were doing. The response was "getting our taxes back." WHAT? So the flat screen tv that you smashed on the road gets you your taxes back? Taxes that pay for healthcare, education, roads, etc? Don't get me wrong, there are obviously flaws. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, but how does rioting an electronics store (or a department store or a restaurant or a grocery store or a butchers, etc, etc) better your cause or make you any better off?
There was an "interesting", audio only, interview on TV3 this morning. Some young girls were interviewed...
Interviewer started off by mentioning hi, I see you're drinking bottles of wine at 9 in the morning, "Yeah it's great, we hope the riots continue, it's really cool, innit", "It's not our fault, it's the government, innit" and when the interviewer asked about stuff getting wrecked "Yeah, they kinda deserve it coz they're rich, like"

The same girls weren't quite sure who's in the government, but it's still their fault. And they do it because they can… Charming.
It's just one huge shopping spree with a very nasty twist.

Violence and looting has broken out in Manchester with fire bombs thrown at shops and looters stealing clothes, electrical items and alcohol.
BBC correspondent Nick Ravenscroft spent the night in Manchester as police battled to keep control of the streets.
"I'll keep doing this every day until I get caught," one rioter told him. "When I get home nothing is going to happen to me."
I was just making dinner, and grabbed a tea towel to dry my hands and it had a giant Bobby on it and said "London Police Are Wonderful." (This is not a political statement on my part. I'm sure there are some not great policemen, but for the most part they put their lives on the line to deal with these jerkfaces). But I found the timing rather interesting. I didn't even know this towel existed.
