I personally believe it all started with the guy in London being shot dead... In all the times he had been arrested before he was hand cuffed, brought before the magistrates who gave him such a low sentence or even just a caution and so he was free to do his evils again..... being shot dead, to all his gang mates, for pulling a gun and aiming at a police officer was a bit harsh (remember, here in Engand we are not taught right from wrong anymore by the justice system.. you can do a crime here and be expected to be let off).
The riots started off as just that ..Riots, protests against the police for shooting dead one of their own. remember Raoul Moat, one of the nastiest characters you could possibly meet. shot dead by police and is now a martyr.
The looting just happenend as a consequence and the crowds turned ferral. it is human nature to want something for nothing.
