Vox populi

In riotous London a youth explains his looting:

"We ain't got no jobs, no money. We heard that other people were getting things for free, so why not us?" asked E.Nan, a young man in a baseball cap in Hackney, a multi-ethnic area in east London and one of the worst hit areas.

Not much comment necessary here, although it's hard not to wonder just how deeply  the same thought processes are ingrained in our own folks.
