The checklist for a students days peaceful protesting doesn't tend to go:

Food, water, phone, money, petrol, flares, paint, snooker balls.

I've no doubt that a majority of the protestors were not involved in the violence, I've been hearing stories of a large number of foreigners involved in the main chunk of disorder but there were plenty of home grown halfwits only too prepared to join in.

In my mind though the students have only themselves to blame. By refusing to condemn the violence and putting the blame onto the Police for the escalation of violence over the course of the protests they are setting things up for more and more disorder.
Also by allowing themselves to be infiltrated by hooligans and anarchists they've allowed their message to be drowned out.
