There's rioting in quite a number of cities now, Manchester I think being one of them?

I know it's in Birmingham and Liverpool, but I don't really know on what scale. Presumably not that big a deal, since all the coverage it focussed on London.

hardly a riot, really, that's just a gang of troublemakers. probably all friends. the media are really rooting hard for a mass-hysteria 'uk is on fire!' story, aren't they.

Wearing a hooded shirt renders the CCTV rather ineffective. Were everyone wearing t-shirts with a bandana, you have a bit more to go off to identify someone.

No actually you said they hadn't put any thought into it and then within the same paragraph suggested that this was there way of getting back at capitalism which would have required some pretty philosophical thinking from them. So whatever you say Uzique.

I don't have a problem I just find it funny that you were trying to suggest you knew where they were coming from.

Anyway whatever, back to the topic at hand.
where am i suggesting that i know where they come from? i've said that journalists and the educated try to impose a narrative upon chaos. i said they have no unifying aim or goal. "i guessed" (hint: operative grammar here is the personal pronoun 'i') what it could possibly represent, if you want to do some big-picture contextual theorizing about the socio-economic forces at hand here. that's what all the journalists, academics and reporters are doing today in the media. are they all "trying to suggest they know where they come from"? no. it's just the typical 'find an explanation, seek the story' type behaviour that always happens after a major event. looting and riots are an act of mass mob hysteria, often no real motive or point, just a total social phenomenon unto itself, self-generating and self-regulating. experts will always stand 15 metres back behind the safety markers and try and suggest reasons and 'why's. it doesn't mean they're trying to "identify" and "be down with the kids on the street at all".

all i've seen in this thread so far is 3 bitch posts from you because i have the fortune of a back-up job and i'm pretty comfortable. boo hoo. get over it and stfu you immature cunt.
What the fuck are you even talking about, I was simply responding to YOUR post

what do you want them to do, write eloquent letters to their local MP? yeah it's stupid but it's all they've got. no organisation, no real manifesto or aim, just a malaise and a 'rage against the machine' type sentiment. destroying a shop is destroying a symbol of commerce, capitalism, i guess.
I would have thought your English degree would have helped you assertain that, it was in big quotations. See what is in that quote is YOU suggesting that you know why they are rioting. The fact that you are so far from their reality is what is funny. Deal with it. Clearly too much coke has fucked up your mind.

"i guess". oh my god you are like a dog and a bone. my best guess is not asserting the reason, it's just what anyone standing back can do.

also *ascertain, don't try and use big words when you're on some english riot

Indeed. Your guess aka your opinion of why they are doing this. Ie you trying to suggest you know what they are on. If you can't deal with people pointing out your opinion is retarded, don't post it.

I touch type, deal with it. Nice grammar btw.

my grammar is fine, yep. thanks for trying, though. you seriously want to go down that route? rofl. i'm sure you'll come out tops, brainiac.

my guess is just that: a guess. are you seriously saying that all the commentary in today's press is people "trying to suggest [they] know" what the rioters are rioting for? i guess no one that isn't from tottenham or an inner-city slum can even try to explain the rioting behaviour, then? wow. sounds like you're just being a grouch because you're pissy at me for some biographical detail that is completely irrelevant. nice one. i'll write in to the times promptly for the letters section tomorrow morning: "sir, i find it utterly reprehensible that you would try to cover this event in any way whatsoever, being an educated middle-class journalist that simply cannot capital-i Identify..."
