This is a strange event...there has been legitimate protests occuring in England in the past year or two.

Maybe this event will be used by their government to install a more intense police presence moving forward, and limit future protest of any kind. Hopefully not......

It seems this is just out of control looting, maybe just as a result of economic frustration and mob mentality. I think this is far beyond the shooting incident that supposedly sparked this, and obviously there are racial undertones among the economically distressed as well....

Unfortunately, I think this is what happens when you have a nanny/welfare state in control for so long, as others have said. What a broken society.....I just talked to a couple who came here from England 3 months ago and they filled my ear about the banks, taxation, immigration etc.......I didn't think it was that bad.

It's too bad England shop/home owners don't have a 2nd amendment to protect themselves with. Some of these thugs should be eating lead to curb the looting.......meanwhile the police are just standing by, totally overwhelmed and doing nothing to help the people.
