The mistake you make comes from media brainwash, which focuses only on the violent
element and ignores the non-violent element which was present (I saw it in my own
eyes, old people and young girls too, concerned about their future and not
sure how to organise to make their voice heard).
This was not just looters there. I too was misled at first. Blame Murdoch et al.
Actually, many of those present were white and poor. They had real grievance but no
stage on which to express themselves.
