After watching the video from Sky News UK, it would seem that the rioters and looters of the London riot were mainly people who didn’t have much in terms of money and jobs. I guess they saw it as an opportunity to get things they can not otherwise afford. The rioting was trigger by the killing of a boy shot by police.
They were desperate for clothing and food and other goods like electronics which they can sell for money later on. In the end, the reason for the rioting and looting I think is something that the U.K government will have to address, which is the gap between the rich and the poor. As well, there is the issue of how expensive living is gettting, higher food prices and other living expense… and don’t forget taxes.
Mind you just because, they were poor does not justify the actions. Watch the video by the link below.
