Their parents are broke and don't see a future for themselves.

They might be in the future though. We students have been hit the worst at the moment and you don't see that from us. I think there will be an uprising at some point because of they way things are going, but I don't think this episode was it. Just a bunch of dole kids being opportunists.


When students have a shaky future it's worse for the dole kids. You're competing for the same crap jobs later when there are no jobs and guess who will get them.

I don't see that. The rioting is strictly an English thing (at least for now). It seems to me that it's 10% people that are truly motivated by current conditions, 90% people taking advantage of the situation to steal a new TV.

Imnotwashingmypirate, no one likes a scruffy pirate. You should give your pirate a good scrub as a favor to the rest of us.

It was my understanding that the riot was a protest against the high cost of consumer electronics...
