In the 80's riots they said it was police racism, but that's not the case now, and the cuts haven't even started to bite yet, so it's not that either. As far as the dole, if they wanted a job, there's plenty of work out there, and no ones dole has been cut anyway. It's just opportunist looting and mindless rioting. Just as football hooliganism was seen as fun, so is this.
