While they stem from the same causes and both were more or less spontaneous, in NA they had organized protests with relatively narrow demands and became violent only when forced to by state violence whereas in London they went straight to rioting a looting that will now be crushed.<br /><br />I think understanding the difference is important as we need the former no the riots here.Linux Beachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359697432337570913noreply@blogger.com
