Having watched the documentary on the riots on Panorama on BBC1 last night.
I came away with the perception that what sparked it all off was blind ANGER.
As a person who can feel this very strongly , I can identify with this totally irrational feeling. Trying to find simple answers can be a futile quest if this is true.
I'm going to read the article, the above picture was nicked from before writing any more.
We are going to be discussing the riots in our regular fortnightly group this next Thursday if anyone wants to share their views: Methodist Hall, Hartley St., 2:15 Thursday. We're a group that have been meeting regularly now for about five years.
I read the article and am very little further on as it doesn't deal with anger that real hurts others and this sometimes as in the case of the riots was the way anger was going to be satisfying and make those angry feel good.
Now they, the rioters, have to cope with us feeling angy with their actions.
Are we/they anyway further forward?
