while i despise these types of people that burn and steal for nothing much more than fun, and i cant condone attacking small businesses and peoples property, you cannot ignore the progress thats been made by these mostly mindless riots.
for once, politicians are actually paying attention. so far, there have been peaceful protests against almost everything major this government has proposed, and theyve gone ahead and done most of it anyway. it takes this kind of action to make them see that removing EMA, increasing tuition fees, cutting police funding, etc. whilst at the same time, giving everything to banks in a vague attempt to cut the deficit and pull ourselves out of recession, which clearly isnt working... errr... causes this stuff to happen... its almost beneficial that the rioters themselves have no purpose, because it gives Cameron the opportunity to feel hes the first person to realise that society is "broken" and that hes making it worse... again.
this is my take on it anyway...
...whether all of the above is wrong or not doesnt really matter, because you cannot deny that people are finally paying attention to these people, and what underlying causes for this there may be... everybody is talking about it.
from these events, change will hopefully happen... and thats exactly what we need.
i do wish theyd change their target to very large businesses, banks and/or politicians themselves...
