England riots

I think this whole incident is just a spark that's riled up a lot of other problems there. I feel like for the past few months, mainly just the summer actually, i've read a number of articles about unrest in England. From phone-hacking stuff to the protests against dramatically increasing tuition, to one of the biggest labor unions threatening to strike with some ridiculous percentage of the country's workers. Basically, things have been pretty shaky for a minute, and if anything, this just gave people an opportunity to blow off steam. But did you guys notice where it said in the article that a bunch of young men showed up towards the latter portion of the protest with firecrackers and stuff? That suggests to me that they've been waiting for an opportunity to go crazy.
