Re: London - riots

@ravage

haan im not defending those who are simply opportunistic. My points however are

a) Even amongst those who are looting there may be people who want actual change, and dont feel [at least at the moment] compelled to obey a system that safeguards an unjust status quo.
b) The opportunism of an unknown proportion of these rioters should not obscure the real issues or become the prevailing discourse, as is desired by the more powerful segments of the society.

Yes there may be, but in the case of this current riot, i dont see how it will help them achieve change.
