⁃ 1 in 2 children in Tottenham live in poverty. The area controls 90%
of the UK heroin market. Last month alone they had 1 homicide, 439
reported cases of violent crime, 16 reported rapes, 154 burglaries, 110
reported cases of domestic violence, 9,451 out of work residents which
is a 26 per cent increase since figures published in March.
reasons why the rioters are justified in their actions:
>system has screwed them over, they have nothing to live for so this kind of thing is inevitable
>banker
bailouts and recession, rising cost of living, hit poorest people
hardest, no way to survive on a day to day basis, they are expressing
their anger
>martin luther king “Riots are the voice of the unheard”
>blacks were kept as slaves for centuries so we cant tell them to behave we are just as bad
>they
cant get jobs, no access to good quality education, local schools are
recruiting agents for drugs and gang lifestyle, they are mostly kids so
too young for benefits
>they are
sick of the government doing nothing for them, cutting funding to their
areas and closing down important youth centres in their areas (these
youth centres deal with drugs/gangs/etc. with the youth).
>institutional racism in the police, corruption, illegal use of stop and search |
