I like Ron Paul, but Americans have it wrong when they think that people in London were rioting because they have had their benefits withdrawn, that is not the case, nothing has changed.
They are just a bunch of self entitled fuck wits, who have grown up in a society where they believe they should get something for nothing, the riots were spread through a phenomenon of pack mentality through social media (facebook, twitter, BBM etc) because they thought they could get something for free (TV's, etc etc).
Basically, utterly pointless violence.
