Crumbling society or sheer vandalism?

I can't stop watching the news. I am not against uprisings. Many necessary and vital changes have been made in the World by mass civil unrest when people have gone to the streets and shouted out that they wanted change now. However, why innocent victims' and small businesses are being targeted is beyond me. Staff in Pizza Planet and JD Sports are hardly earning enough to live on, and the owners might not be able to claim insurance for 'civil mobbing'. Everybody loses. Why not target the banks? If kids today have absolutely nothing to live for then maybe the government should consider creating more jobs and allowing people to go to uni. Give them a chance in life and see how things change. Also, the government needs to stop cutting police jobs! Tories, see what you have done?? But kids, really, if you want to make a point, don't victimise small businesses, people's homes, your own neighbours and electronics shops. Londoners will have no sympathy for TV looters.  Sure, go out and demand change, but do it nicely and you will be supported. Do it with violence and you get no respect. "There is nothing more dangerous than to build a society, with a large segment of people in that society, who feel that they have no stake in it; who feel that they have nothing to lose. People who have a stake in their society, protect that society, but when they don't have it, they unconsciously want to destroy it." Martin Luther King Jr


Here are some of my favourite comments and quotes from Londoners, picked out from Facebook and Twitter: 
-'Peace appears to have broken out in London. Have parents barricaded their children indoors or are the looters busy playing on their new PS consoles?'
-'Stuck indoors!!!'
‎-'Dirty, thieving bastard scum, you make me sick. Any excuse to loot shops for your white trainers and a new tv. It's about time our police were allowed to deal with scum properly.'
-'Wow a lot of Police around. What happen to the skanky idiots? They are either doing the following: watching the news and laughing their ass off boasting that they've finished stealing or are they doing a peek a boo game.'
-'I could understand if they were looting food, but TVs and DVD recorders??? These are just opportunistic bastards!!'
-'Hackney has burnt to the ground!'
