[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 452857, member: 84"] Depends on where you're getting your sources. Normal news says it started with the attempted arrest of a man in a certain low income level of the city, similar to something that had happened several years ago that the residents there were still really fired up about. And then everyone just sort of climbed on board for the "fun of it". Which I'm not buying into that part. I'm sure that the mob angry over incident triggered what came after, but those people had a reason for rioting. According to various online news sources, it's due to the economic situation, people are fed up and fighting back. I've seen this reason stated in both american online alternative news sources as well as British sources. Not sure how accurate that is, but they certainly stated a good case that made sense, alot more sense than our news did. Mob mentality is a phenomena unto itself. Once it gets started it's an open season type deal. But I don't think the news we're getting in the papers or on tv are telling the whole story.....which is why I went looking for alternative sources. Then I try to balance the two out. I have a very close friend from London. Her extended family lives there, several of her grown children are there and I know she is very concerned. [/QUOTE]
