A Simple Explanation Of The Rioting

... and the racial attacks in Milwaukee and Philadelphia.

It was fun, all their friends were doing it and there was no reason to stop.

  1. Let's not forget that they have no jobs. Hard to riot all night when you have to get up at 6am.

  2. Actually, a lot of the London rioters had jobs. Good jobs. Grownup jobs. Government jobs, even.

    They just didn't care, I guess, or maybe they figured they'd just call in that they couldn't get to work because of the riot, or use their vacation days.
