Kind of knocks the whole "Most of the rioters were simply caught up in the moment" argument on its head.

Quote:
The majority of London rioters had been convicted or cautioned more than 15 times, new figures show
But only a third had ever been in prison before fueling fears that the criminal justice system is soft on repeat offenders.
Three in four of those who appeared before the courts across the country had a previous caution or conviction
And one in four people had committed more than 10 previous offences.
