How on Earth does a protest turn into THAT ...
And THIS!

These are not people trying to send a message to the police or government about a suspicious shooting ... I mean unless that message is "Arrest me now!" ... This is straight up criminality - a bunch of hooligans who are taking advantage of a situation and wreaking havoc on people's livelihoods.
When did civilized protesting become setting cars and buses on fire? And shattering shop windows? And beating police officers? Like Cousin N in London said ... she had that awkward moment when she thought the streets of Pakistan would be safer than the streets of London, and that's saying a lot seeing as how Pakistan has been going lately.

The youth of London are clearly on some other shyttt because they are even using social media to plan their looting escapades ... hooking up on Facebook and Twitter with events and tweets. According to one site, Blackberry messenger was used to circulate this fun little message to anyone with a data plan ...
Everyone in edmonton enfield wood green everywhere in north link up at enfield town station at 4 o clock sharp!!!! Start leaving ur yards n linking up with your n*ggas. F*ck da feds, brings your ballys and your bags trollys, cars vans, hammers the lot!!
Half these kids are probably just jumping on the looting bandwagon because their friends are doing it and that's just sad. They even planned to hit up Westfield Shopping Centre and ransack that ... And like Cousin M in London said, "That's not even funny. That's totally unnecessary." For those of you who don't know, Westfield houses The Village, a section of the mall with stores that I go in and the employees look me up and down with either sad or suspicious eyes. If they succeeded in ransacking that mall, what a day they would have had!

Seriously though! These kids need to get it together and realize that one day soon they are either going to a) get arrested, b) get shot by one of their homies or someone else, c) burn to death in one of the fires they start, d) kill someone and have to live with that for the rest of their lives, or e) get away with it now and get arrested at some point in the future for some other stupid crime they commit.
Two jumps in a week, I bet you think that's pretty clever, don't you, boy? Flying on your motorcycle, watching all the ground beneath you drop. You'd kill yourself for recognition. Kill yourself to never ever stop. You broke another mirror. You're turning into something you are not. (High and Dry, Radiohead)
