England riots

But seriously, this IS NOT a protest. This is blatant DESTRUCTION and ANARCHY. now if they peacefully just held signs and yelled at the police, then it would have been fine.

I'm not trying to undermine my stance here. This kind of violent "protest" and looting is horrendous. But what good is peaceful protesting going to do? We all know how viable that solution is. It isn't. Like Eolias was quoting: their peaceful protests would not have gotten any media coverage, and would have been largely pointless, because the media wouldn't have given them a second thought.

But some of the posters here are right, this might escalate into a lot more than looting.
