Inhuman social degradation and desperation have reasons that Reason knows nothing of, and for good reason. 
It cannot possibly, under any stretch of Mind or Imagination, be just for "personal amusement and to steal others'....," as there was nothing - as we can see now - preventing them from doing so at any previous day/year/month/epoch/time before this week. It's like blaming W.W.I. on the Archduke getting shot, WW-II on GER invasion of POL, Vietnam on the Gulf of Tonkin incident, or Gulf War I on Saddam attacking Kuwait. 
And if we can debate the true causes and impact of Outside The Gate or remember all that brain-trust that engaged the issue of the provenance of Punk: L.A. or NYC, I trust everyone interested can get at the true causes of rioting and protests - assuming, of course, they're interested....

Funny, the had similar "riots" against police murders in the US in the 1960s--in many many cities--and it led to: tens of millions

a big increase in public universities, so working class blacks and whites could now go to college; social programs that benefited
women, children,
and low income people. I hope some gains are made in the UK.

Yeah right, these assholes are burning down local business and vandalizing their neighbors property so they can get a better
education.  It's all good fun until you or a loved one gets injured or killed and their home burned down by some drunk douchebags.

I had the so-called pleasure of having to help a friend who lived in downtown LA get his music gear out of his apartment the first
night of the 1992 LA Riots.  Only a couple blocks away, Blacks and Mexicans were torching a corner liquor store and the LA fire dept
let it burn because they were getting shot at where ever they showed up to put out a fire.  In any civilized country when you have
this sort of shit happen, 95% of the people doing the destruction and looting are stupid fucks with no common sense, no reason
behind what they're doing other than personal amusement and to steal other people's property.  They could give a fuck about whatever
person got beaten, killed or incarcerated.

BTW, there does appear to be some small groups inciting others - I mean, who has time to print up leaflets before they go out on a
merry night of burn down the pub?
