Class Delineation + Unemployment + Youth is a tough combo to quell.

These kids have nothing to do, and a lot of time to do it in. They believe that they are being mistreated and looked down apon, a sure recipie for revolt whether it is true or not.

I can understand if these kids had been beaten up, but the fact that they got killed because they ran away as the root of this rioting is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard of.

YES they might have been treated poorly (roughed up) if caught, but blaming the cops for something they did not do.....This was a riot that was waiting for anything to touch it off.

So what can they do? they can impose curfiews, but that would incite a militant state. The perfect "Us vs. Them" for the youths to get into and be exploited by those "leaders" that simply want to use their discontent to build their own power.

We are such friggin primitive critters sometimes. As intelligent as we are, we are still so influenced by the hormones and instincts that run through us.
