I'm taking back everything I said about American Education being lax. We all have them. Would like to go to Manchester and punch him in the throat.

"Ya don' know what tha police are like, bro. Gawd, I can't explain it to ya." (Why'd you come out here?) "I came out here for money."
Classy.

A person was shot dead by police a few days ago. Mark Duggan. His family protested his innocence. Police claim that he fired on them, and when the bullet was checked, turned out it was a police bullet. And it all kicked off in Tottenham. Now it's spread from there across London, and now it's moved across the country. Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, etc. And it's usually Liverpool that starts it. So good news for us (because I live there) that we didn't.

So police kill a dude and the people's answer to that is to riot and risk the police killing more dudes?

Well, the intention of some (friends, family of the victim) was likely just a demonstration. But, it seems the masses decided to use it as a chance for something more---being total douche bags.

So why is this riot happening? The innocent guy being shot was the trigger , It started demonstrations and the everyone else saw it as an opportunity t join in ,now the vast majority of people looting and rioting are doing it for either personal gain or fun .

Hello Rioters. Look at your friend, now back to me. Now at your friend, now back to me. Sadly, he isn't me, but if he stopped using petrol bombs and started using job centre's he could potentially be me. Look down, back up. Where are we? You're at an interview with the man your friend could work for. What's in your hand? Back at me. I have it. It's an application form to that job you need. Look again. The form is now money. Anything is possible when you get a job and stop looting...

But it's very hard to find a job here nowadays. A few friends of mine have been looking for some time. And they have great grades from school. Been to university. And still find it hard. One of them has been looking for 2 years.

And when you can't find a job, the obvious solution is to destroy society.

Exactly...wait no. There has been mass protest against the government, and didn't go anywhere, because they weren't arsed. The people in power are the type that like to keep the rich, rich. Toryism. And I think half of this is anger, frustration built up. And the other half is as you seen up in that video, is moronic.

You missed my point. It wasn't in favor of the Government, but instead pointing out the stupidity behind these "protests." They're chaos for the sake of chaos at this point and that will accomplish nothing. The only thing it WILL do is label them as the bad guys and a heavier emphasis will (and has been) placed towards stopping them. Water cannons are approved for tonight and the PM says this is a clear case of the UK's "gang problem." If the point was to protest for a better economy, doing it by looking like total assholes and looting isn't the way to send the message.
