My take on the London riots

Ok, there was an interview with one of the rioters on tv this morning.  It's easy to assume from the way he was talking that he's not exactly educated, so he probably didn't attend school, so got no qualifications, so can't get a job, so has no money.  Now, ultimately this is HIS fault, but does he see that?  Like hell, it's the government's fault.  It's them to blame for his total unemployability.
Cause and effect.  You thought it was fun to arse about in school, and now you've no job/cash, but it's "society's" fault?  That's the level of genius that's rioting.

And another thing, how does burning down houses in the area you live in help your social situation?

Arsewipes the lot of them.  This is not a politically motivated riot.  This is a mob jumping on the bandwagon of a protest at a man being shot, and using their "anger" to loot shops.  They couldn't care less about the guy who died, all they care about is the nicking the biggest plasma in the shop.

Colin you are absolutely correct. But that is the 'victim' mentality. Poor me, it's someone else's fault. It's a situation that's got well out of hand. The casuals, nut jobs, daft kids, etc have had a field day.
