Do you think the rioters in Croydon and other parts of the country were making a stand for freedom when they destroyed peoples property last year.
I have no problem with people protesting but not when it turns to violence.
I have noticed that you would ban violence, but you think rioting is ok, how does that work.
the people in croydon are an ignored underclass, and the system tells them daily to get good trainers, be cool, get ipods etc - so it was inevitable. rioting is usually not violent, it usually is against talismanic material things...such as large corps, goverment buildings etc.....but yes, the lines between riots and violence are fuzzy and open to ones perception.
