I understand the need to protest, and I get that when large groups of young men gather together in protest, violence is almost inevitable. But, when your only reason to be rioting is so that you can smash into local shops to steal ciggies and booze...well, you just need a damn good slap!
That is not to say that society does not have a responsibility to provide all young adults an opportunity to succeed and have hope for the future. Unemployment, despair and daytime television all play their part!
