Some of these tow rags and yobs who have been looting shops and burning them down, have been  explaining why they feel the need to do this. Some choice ones are:-

"We're out on the streets, innit. We're fed up with all these taxes 'n stuff" 

"These shops can afford us taking stuff and that."


Well.....I guess that explains it then. There was also a studio interview with a supposedly intelligent ex gang member who said he "didn't condone it, like....but could understand it." His answer, when asked if he thought that it justified burning homes and looting shops and now killing people, was "Umm....well...."
I think it was all too complicated for him to figure out.
