I whole heartedly agree. Blackstar took this out of content and created something that was not there.

au contraire, the media coverage was pretty nuff here too in TO.

the interesting nugget of info is that the rioters were mainly middle class white kids.

Most riots in N. America originate with sporting events and rock concerts. </div></div>

This attitude about crime and violence has nothing to do with race; it is more to do with <span style="font-weight: bold">POVERTY </span>. Think about those 3 cities with the highest crime rates in the world; the three are scarred by the poverty and disenfranchisement of the populace and in the case of other events in N. America--alcohol. Cities which don't have the excuse of extensive poverty have their riots fueled with it, whether the cause is an athletic event, natural disaster, or rock concert. </div></div>

You are saying that rioting is caused by poverty in some cases and alcohol in the others?
