Found this. I really think that's the most ridiculous reason, but that's the policeman opinion.

Quoted:
"Go home, get a takeaway and watch anything that happens on TV. These are bad people who did this. Kids out of control. When I was young it was all Pacman and board games. Now they're playing Grand Theft Auto and want to live it for themselves."
I lol'd. Not even going to bother explaining how much I hate opinions like that.

If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.

Hmm, I've just heard fires have started in the city closest to where I live :c.
I'm getting a little sick of it now, I almost hope they call the military in.

I wish they'd just use force. Real guns. Real bullets.
The rioters deserve it at this point, if nothing happens they have "won" - and will have broke the law without consequence. If we want this to stop, we need to show them that we mean business - the police are pretty much chasing them round until they "get bored and leave", I wouldn't be surprised if someone played Benny Hill music.

I'm not so sure about that, but I think some show of force is definetely neccessary. I was thinking more along the lines of water cannons and tear gas rather than mass murder.
EDIT: Apparantly the city college is on fire, and also the city's library. Really, guys? Really? Burning down a library? After everyone complained so much about the government closing libraries, you burn one down? Way to prove you're only in this to set **** on fire, you ****ing idiot arseholes.

This is what happens when people can't learn and think it's cool to hurt people... ._.
It's more about it now than before yes... Tho I think It's not much becuse of the games... I think it's mostly that parrents are too nice to kids and don't teach them what wrong and right is. :3
Tho this won't be taken seriously when a 15 years old write it lolol. :D

Pfft, the **** doesn't they just bring out exploding bullets and shoot everyone they can see on the street? Like, one clip and you'll shower the neighborhood in body parts.
The fresh smell of blood in the morning will help make the youths of today get a healthier tomorrow!

From what I hear, shops have been looted and set on fire and cars are being set on fire. Haven't heard anything about violence towards civilians or homes so I'm sure he's fine.
