Videos about the Riots


In this video 4 teenagers are being interviewed about why there were involved in the riots. Many of them spoke about the struggles of life, and how the government are only helping the rich. One of them also spoke about how they tried their best to be noticed in this type of society, but he wasn't noticed and therefore he had to resort to other ways in order something to happen. All the youths talk about how the government should help them, money wise as it's hard to survive in this world. This just shows that the people involved in the riots weren't doing it  for fun but for the sake of voices to be heard and action to take place. At the time, the Government had changed many things and therefore a lot of young youths and adults were frustrated at the fact that the government went along with these decisions without asking the public. Such as University cuts, Education Maintenance etc
The people of the community understand that many of the youths are frustrated with the government and at the police. This was their only way for their voices to be heard. Many of the people in this video understand why many of the young people went out rioting. They understand that this was a class struggle between the rich and poor and also at the fact, that many of the youths feel isolated and therefore no hope for what the future holds. The old lady and man also talk about how Bad parenting has lead to the riots. They say how many of the parents don't control their children or have quality parenting and therefore bad parenting lead up to the riots.
