These people are nothing short of scum and deserve to be sent down for life.Of course you are ABSOLUTELY correct. However (certainly not as a justification) but i believe this is going to become a world wide problem as more and more (particularly the youth) feel powerless to CONTROL their futures due to the global economic downturn.For instance while we have seen a historical revolution in the middle east and north africa the chances of the achievement in the economic improvements that were a large part of the uprisings will not unfortunately be achievable in the short term. This will certainly result in anger and frustration in the general populations and then you will see even greater civil discord and riots (and worse). I wish i could profess a more positive attitude but i just don't see it. truenorthThis is not about impoverished people any more, this is now about ORGANISED crime. I'm not rich but you don't see me breaking into PCWorld and taking a laptop or breaking into Currys and taking a TV.
This is about people's greed... nothing ELSE. The amount of small businesses that have been destroyed through this is mind boggling. I truly hope that this doesn't spread across other countries. National service and/or a boot camp would teach these no good hood's how to act and teach them a few manner's which they must never have been taught.
