Immigration: Lack Of Confidence

Public Institutions Dept: We know that the discontent has been simmering for decades, and attribute the recent rioting to a combination of factors such as a disenfranchised youth, socio-economic despair and lack of confidence in public institutions, particularly the Metropolitan Police, according to Vancouver Sun. Many have warned against a rush to dismiss the protesters as "thugs and delinquents" in the heat of the moment, suggesting that speculative judgment could feed into the violence and as we digest the destruction and damage to property after several consecutive nights of violence, questions are being asked as to why the riots had broken out. The violence can't be explained in purely socio-economic terms. In his statement on the riots, Prime Minister David Cameron described the scenes of looting and violence as "sickening" and "criminality pure and simple." As reported in the news.
