Although the actions are inexcusable, you can certainly understand the anger and volatility amongst young people when over the last 5-6 years or so the 'baby boomers' and 'establishment' have basically delivered the biggest 'LOL AT YOU' to young people in all of history.
 
Couple of Twitter quotes:

The Youth of the Middle East rise up for basic freedoms.The Youth of London rise up for a HD ready 42" Plasma TV #londonriots


On a light heated note if possible, this one made me laugh a little:

Jack Wilshere
London does not look good! May peace be found as soon as possible!

@JackWilshere They've broken into the Arsenal trophy cabinet. They'll be on the antiques roadshow next week !

really, please tell me the last time your local court gave a sentence that sounded fair for the crime?

How many "infractions" do you have to complete a week? how many times do you have to not stand back and let people abuse you because you know that they'll never get sentenced. Face it you've been neutered!

Why must we chose one of those to blame?

Why can't we just blame the individuals for being ****'s?

Plenty of people in this country go through some properly harsh stuff and don't feel the need to steal from JD Sports and set fire to other peoples cars as a result.

Sorry Joshy but whatever legitimate concerns this people may have had are now rendered irrelevent by the disgusting criminal behaviour.

Because as people on the other side of the fence like to point out, this seems to be a majority Black thing. Its not just a bunch of muti-cultural idiots out for a ruck.

Which means you've got to revert back to my two choices. Skin colour and genes deposing people towards this behaviour, or it is social factors. I can't think of any other explanation.

Egats man, calm yourself. Nobody is defending them; their actions are deplorable. There are clear socio-economic factors that have led to this situation. Nobody becomes a thug because 'they are wired wrong' or 'dont have a brain' no matter how hard you wish it were so.

No they watch movies and think it cool to act tough.

That's a matter for the courts. We lock up, process and hand them over.

I find the sentence often reflects the judge presiding.

Some are soft. Some come down hard.

Lets be honest Labour are more to blame than this for creating a society where the Police are too scared to touch the criminals incase they lose their jobs and the 13 years of ignoring the underground criminal gang warfare because it might be 'racism'.
