pampered black youth who indulged in welfare scrounging, looting and feckless fathering supported by the bleeding hearts of the BBC/Guardian axis.Can't put it much better than that.

I didn’t see that in the article. The conclusion was:
“In other words, the rioters are stealing designer clothes and gadgets besides causing property damage simply because they can.”

From the JP article:
As for the motivation of the vandals and thieves, one need look no further than what one rioter told Sky News reporter Mark Stone: Were getting our taxes back.
In other words, the rioters are stealing designer clothes and gadgets besides causing property damage simply because they can.
That about sums it up. Not government cutbacks in the entitlement state or race or poverty, just greed and a penchant for violence that is fueled by the knowledge that there will be few, if any, consequences for robbing and burning in Merry Olde England, today. So much for socialism.

The root cause?
Lawless blacks out to steal and burn.
Stop pussyfooting around and looking for excuses for them. We all know the root cause. Every country with a substantial black population has the same problems.

Outstanding
ten or twenty thousand deaths would make a big difference in the riot intensity

the riots are the fault of the governments spending cuts Typical liberal idiocy. Half (or more) of the rioters are probably unaware of any spending cuts.

The reality is that given the reigns of a city (see Oakland, Baltimore, Chicago, LA, DC, Detroit) a Democratic-Union-AA city will be in shreds in no time.
London and the Liberal asshats who support open borders and Godless Socialism end up with this...and their gun control laws prevent citizens from defending themselves.
This is assinine as the people WHO RUN BUSINESSES and PAY TAXES support these RIOTING MORONS’ SOCIAL PROGRAMS...
Government does not make anything but laws and confiscatory tax codes.

What you say is true and there's really only one conclusion to draw from this but fear of being charged with a hate crime prevents the utterance of this conclusion. It doesn't change the truth.

The root cause is that no one is a Christian anymore, not the government, not the subjects of the government. they are all pagans

I see a lot of white rioters in those pictures. Are they stand-ins put there by the liberal media?
Living OUTSIDE of a big city has changed my attitudes about racism. I feared no white man until I lived south of 95th Street.
