I'm afraid many of these young rioters, looters and extremists are suffering from delusions, they have convinced themselves that they are "bringing down the system" and "hurting the rich and powerful" by burning and looting local corner shops and other types of local businesses in their area, needless to say the reality is they have hurt their own, those shops are run by locals not the rich and powerful, I wish they'd wake up, face facts, stop fooling themselves, then they might get somewhere.

@Brainstormerbubble u sound like u have a good head on your shoulders, they did fail majorly those few days n nights, many good people suffered for nothing

@jsilkldn

Yes, I agree with that, it was probably a bit of everything really, including criminal opportunism, what I would say though is that a good government should be able to protect it's good citizens from the bad apples, that day they failed and still are failing, there's so many lunatics on the street nowadays, some potentially dangerous, they need help which they are not getting properly and we need better protection, this is where the government has a lot to answer for.

@proff180 i think the majority were just opportunistic theives to be honest, not making a political statement, they jus loved the hype and the opportunity to get free stuff

@SarahLeeAnn

I reckon it's a bit of both really but I agree they are opportunists.

@proff180 I'm not so sure the even think they are "bringing down the system" They seem like they are just violent people who had an opportunity to be destructive. I understand unrest, but I think a lot of these kids (and I say that as a 20-something) just see an opportunity.
