Riots in London

Whats happening in London is very sad. I was of the opinion that these activities happens in South East Asian countries only. Europe is mostly calm. People do not believe in riots and protest mostly in peaceful manner. I always complaint of Indians that they choose violent path to protest. Now we have learned to protest silently (Anna Hazare cause, candle night vigil at India gate, etc), these Europeans are getting violent.

Do you think UK debt crisis is somewhat causing this? If not directly but indirectly giving people the reason to fight against the authorities/government. People are unemployed. They do not have any work. They have enough time to think negatively. Remember "Empty Mind is Devil's Workshop"? People need to be more optimistic. They should not take part in such activities as it is hurting their nation only. I hope everybody is safe in London.
