Rioting in London

It's fairly horrible to see those riots in London.  It's brutal and senseless.  Violence is generally unacceptable and people are dying. 

The root causes of the rioting are diverse.  I would guess that poverty, lack of education and a general feeling of hopelessness.  Sadly, a lot of racist idiots are trying to take advantage of the situation.

I hope it all gets sorted out soon.  Sorting out the causes will take longer.

It's terrible. I'm in Glasgow and Dundee so I'm far away but I have good friends in Bristol, London and Birmingham. There are some stupid people out there.

Thanks for posting though!
