What's up with London? (riots, merged)

I'm just speculating here but perhaps the reason these hoodlums feel "shut out" is because Europeans wear their alienation from the state like a badge of honor. Hating ones country is almost a rite of passage if what's written on this forum is any indication of your true feelings.

After all how many times have we read how you don't feel any loyalty to your homeland? That you don't feel your representatives represent you? That your government is some evil organization designed to bleed you dry?

Well country is basically another word for community and if todays youth are trashing their own community then perhaps it's because they've been told all their lives not to have any respect or loyalty towards it.
