I don't think I've seen an anime that took place in England.

I think it has something to do by some dude who was killed by policemen or something

Well, thank god we're not like you.

If America rioted every time the police killed somebody, there'd be nothing left.

I'm assuming the man didn't deserve to be murdered in cold blood by a gang of renegade cops out on the prowl for some street justice?

The last major riots/protests have been triggered by a policeman killing someone and a tuition increase, both things that happen all the time over here and nobody cares. I'd much rather live in a country where folks don't get their knickers in a bunch over mundane stuff.

The United States is above rioting (well most of the time anyway), and the mother country ought to be too. Rioting is something the French would do, not something any good law-abiding Anglo-Saxon country would do.

If they do, the proper action is to bring a suit in court, not to riot. There's a reason why the US and UK have the oldest continuously running governments without armed revolution in the world.

I've never understood just how you make the connection between "the government did something evil" and "let's destroy the private property of some shopkeeper who wasn't remotely involved"

You want to prevent police brutality? Elect politicians who will decrease the size, scope, and power of government and increase individual rights and freedoms. Barring that, the populace will get the government it deserves. Although I'm interested in the explanation as to how the evil, brutal, tyrannical police force who supposedly kills people for fun is, for some strange reason, NOT killing the rioters. Funny, that.

Lets not act like all these people are tackling injustice or something noble like that. A lot of it just violence and destruction for the sake of it.

"A 26-year-old man is in a serious condition in a south London hospital with gun shot wounds. Police found him inside a car at about 21:15 BST in Warrington Road, Croydon."

"02.48 Numerous reports on Twitter of shops in Stokes Croft, Bristol, being looted. There are reports of six seperate fires at the Cabot Circus shopping mall in the city"

To be honest, American apathy frightens me.

In 2003, most of America didn't want to go to war with Iraq. And then the government ran some pro-war ads and the opinion polls swung the other way. I feel like Americans mostly operate on puppet strings, and it scares me.

Oh come the **** on. We may not get up off our asses to fight every wrong the government has committed physically, but people do fight for what they want when it counts; voting seasons.

Unless you think the only way to show you care is to tear up the streets when something bad happens.

I think it's pretty clear that we do! there is no way to to explain our political situation otherwise. Americans haven't rioted in mass in a good while because we're more or less sedated and willing to accept whatever happens to us.

I mean, we just saw a homeless guy get beat to death in California, then the whole damn town showed up in city hall complaining about it and demanding the government officials to do something about it.

Imagine, going to your government and talking like civilized people instead of harming innocent people and destroying private property.

There's plenty of political activity in America, but it's all on the right. The left cannot generate that kind of drive among the people anymore.

Most of these things start as a legitimate protest of some kind, then the wrong crowd and a bunch of other stuff gets mixed in and crap like this happens.
At this point it has absolutely nothing to do with the original issue, to even think it does is insane. It's basically unleashed chaos by now. You can't even say this is people acting like animals, because even animals have more bloody structure than that.
