So why the riots? Is it because of the "austerity measures?"
Does anything reveal that this may be far more organized and planned than thought initially? In other words, these "masked youths" may be part of some extreme political group?
And as far the death penalty...that is nutty. Property is being burned, stores looted, not mass murder.
The masked 'youths' are due to the extensive police surveillance system in London, which has in excess of one camera for every eight residents. They're supposed to deter and help solve crime, but apparently nobody ever seems to have thought that someone might cover their face so the cameras wouldn't be able to identify them. It's an 'unexpected' turn of events for the Metropolitan Police, who were so proud of their cameras. Strangely, pretty much everyone else seems to have figured this out years ago...
I don't think that the rioters are particularly well organized or orchestrated (considering the in-fighting that seems to be going on) - or at least reports and videos don't seem to indicate so.
