Young Londoner: Two months ago we marched to Scotland Yard, more than 2,000 of us, all blacks, and it was peaceful and calm and you know what? Not a word in the press. Last night a bit of rioting and looting and look around you.
Peaceful protests with less than 10,000 people maybe get a spot in your newspaper. Rioting gets world wide recognition. While I'm sad to see it's in the London area, I'm glad that something might actually be changed in their government. The way things are run there mirrors the other super powers of the world, and hopefully this will be the beginning of a world wide government takedown. They have too much power.
