If the London rioters were protesters they wouldn’t look so happy
It is the joy on display that is so unsettling. People who are protesting are by nature angry, or at least solemn. They have upraised fists, and homemade signs.
But young Britons haven’t even bothered to come up with a slogan or a decent chant. They are blissfully happy as they destroy other people’s property. They are without guilt.
It can be seen in the images of giddy youths hauling flat-screen televisions out of plundered shops. It can be read in the reports where, as one witness described, a young woman looted so many sweaters from a high-end London store she tottered under their weight.
