It's not civil liberties that is allowing them to riot, it's the numbers making it difficult to get a hold on them. They are still breaking the law. We shouldn't use incidents like this to restrict our freedoms. I really doubt they are feeling uneasy about civil liberties considering all of us take advantage of them on a daily basis.

Now their fashionable watering holes, eateries, shops, offices and even homes are being looted and burned I wonder if they'll be quite so forgiving of those who're responsible and quite so ready to jump to their defence? Now the quaint and affluent streets of London are under threat, I wonder if the left leaning, namby-pamby lawyers, judges, politicians, journalists, activists and other apologists who live in them are focussing their minds on what they've allowed to happen and the vigilantism that is starting to surface?

Such a cheap shot. Just because you believe in civil liberties or your 'left leaning' doesn't mean you approve of riots or 'allowed it to happen'
