Beyond pointless and nothing more than an excuse to throw a violent temper tantrum.

It's alleged in this riot, as in others, that police intentionally allow the carnage in a Victim Disarmament Zone, in order to "justify" a Police State.
Cops in police-issued combat boots are often dressed as "anarchists".
The police violence is then directed at legitimate protesters and innocent bystanders.

Yes, but we weren't discussing your beloved Tea Party; we're talking about London now.
Try to keep up, dummy.

Violence is the domain of the purple shirted SEIU goons and the ACORN thugs.
Funny how you insist in inverting reality, and think anyone will buy it.

I agree that sometimes violence brings about change, its a fact of life. But randomly burning buildings and rioting don't really do much of anything except ruin the property and livelihood of uninvolved parties. Even Frem thinks it s a bad idea to do things like this, no direction, no real purpose anymore. The protest started out with an aim, now its just humanity behaving badly and no one will really think its a good thing, apparently except for Former Parasite Kiki. Random burning of things does bear a resemblance to a temper tantrum more than it does to a movement for change.

"Biggest march you never heard of - they politely marched, cleaned up the trash and went home. Oh, and got nowhere.
2004 March for Women's Lives
The April 25, 2004, March for Women's Lives drew a record 1.15 million people to Washington, D.C., to protect and advance access to a full range of reproductive health care options, including abortion, birth control and emergency contraception."

Yes. It certainly couldn't accomplish less.

looting and destroying antiquities is what uneducated hordes do. I hope that doesn't happen to the Smithsonian because there is so much cool stuff there.

No power was ever given up by the powerful to the powerless without the threat of significant loss.
I think though you will find that as in the LA riots, the English riots (they are across the country) will spare the great institutions. That whole Smithsonian thing - that was just Geezer's hyperbole to inflame people's emotions and keep them from thinking.

The English can look forward to the overthrow of The Powers That Be and the replacement with the Hoodie Parliament and free lager and chips for everyone.

I have comment to that, but no time for it, Kiki, I've a slightly better explaination of that, but I do kinda take that side a bit...
I'd be ok with the washington monument, not so much the smithsonian, and I'd riverdance if someone reduce our effigy of that monster Lincoln to powder.
