    London better get their act together. The Olympics is fast approaching. These riots have the potential to turn off visitors.

      I read an article that the Olympic Committee is grilling London officially right now.

      How embarrassing really. Part of their bid had to have been a comprehensive security plan--and if they can't stop a few thousand rioters can they really keep control of several million people during the games?

      Back on topic. That video cracked me up.

        Give the guy a break - he's had a rough time and been deprived. He's just allowing his frustration with society to get the upper hand.

        Guess that's his version of flash mob...in a typical understated British way

    Wow that guy really needs to calm down. I can't believe anyone would have the nerve to do something like that. I mean seriously, that guy needs to be put in jail.

    This type of thing should not be aired on a video. Only god knows how many will follow his lead. Why the streets are going to look like the 1600s again before the week is over at this rate.

    Kay - your tolerance is astounding. What if that had happened in YOUR town?

      Actually - it's humor. I can't solve the problems in the UK - or here. I can look at them, wonder about them but I can't make things better.

      The agonizing over the woes of society gets old after a while. If I want to laugh at a funny video, I'll laugh. It won't make a tinker's damn of difference to how the world spins or what injustices may be happening as we speak.

        LOL - guess my sarcasm didn't shine through. I've got to start hitting those smilies more often. I was attempting a little humor, too - very little, obviously.

        It did and in towns nearby as well. You lose sympathy fast when you see people vandalizing and stealing and laughing about it because they are so "brave". We'll have to disagree on this one as I have no sympathy for looters and that's what much of this "righteous riot" was.

        You can fill the streets with demonstrators and get attention - you don't have to abuse shop owners and normal people to make a point.

          Ah, crap Kay - I'm so sorry. I was just joking about the video and did not even think of or remember what you've been through. Ouch. I definitely did not mean to hit that sore spot and was seriously only being sarcastic in a "funning" nature. Had I said that out loud (of course you would have been able to tell by my tone) I'd be extricating my foot from my mouth -- I was typing. Time to go unlodge the shoe from my keyboard.

      No need to insert foot and swallow - it was interesting but I wasn't personally harmed by it. It did change my perception of riots and looters. I had often thought people had "reasons" - now I think it's "excuses."

      The real victims are those who have homes and businesses damaged and items stolen. No biggie:p

      The cat was found by the owners after 15 hours.

      By the way, notice that she is a white, middle aged bank worker and obviously female.

      I too think we just come up with excuses for bad behaviour. It's nothing to do with socio-economics.

        NOBODY with more than half a brain EVER said that any race, or sex, or even income group, was DEVOID of injustice or evil. And this and the riots are two totally different things.

          ^ I'm well aware these are two different things Steve, I do live here.

          The cat thing was months ago.

          Not sure what your first sentance is referring to.
