Nope, you called someone a racist for saying it was non whites.
If it was a real protest then theyd have done it outside police stations, not throwing bricks through the nearest currys and running off with anything they can carry.
He was correct but it wasnt PC enough for you.

It's not exclusive to ethnic groups, it's an entire disaffected generation of young misguided people.

The riots in the past have no baring on these riots. They are ethnic groups not protesting about anything but seeing it as a chance to vandalise and steal some free goods.
Thats a fact.

1. No local news about anything in Leeds or Bradford - let's not make this seem worse than it is.
2. Whoever suggested all the trouble is down to 'blacks', I wonder if your prejudices are showing? Actually, the hoodies and other clothes being worn make it hard to tell anything useful, but thuggery and looting are usually pretty much equal opportunity activities here in the UK.
Unless your heads in the sand this issue kicked off over a black man benig murdered , followed by an alteracation between a black girl and a police officer during the protest over the murder of the black man.
So here we have the reason and motive for the riots which all centers around the black community.
When white people protest we dont loot and scoot, look at the previous public disorder surrounding white citizens, we may break a few windows but we sure as hell dont steal or burn building to the ground.
Plenty of looting in the Burnley riots

I live near Nottingham so I'm not too near all this.
Why hasn't TPTB made a decision what to do to stop these thieving mobs. It's terrible that looters are sweeping the country, picking the shops clean and robbing people in their homes as they go.
I have never had nor wanted a gun in my house - I live alone and I certainly wish I had one now, just in case.
Innocent citizens living in the vicinity of these riots must be so scared, they need protecting from these rampaging heathens.
