It’s the same as the violence at the education cuts protests, the rioters and looters aren't there because of that guy who got shot by the police, they are just there for thuggery and violence. back in the protesting against the university fees and cuts, most of those doing the rioting would never get into university, even if it was free, nor would they want to, they are just using it as an excuse for violence. It's no different this time.
Scum.if only university was cheaper in the us…
