[QUOTE="soberups, post: 867197, member: 14668"] Thats an interesting thought. I dont know that social media made the British riots any worse. I think what made them worse was the fact that the rioters knew that there would be no consequences for their actions. They were up against unarmed and outnumbered police. In the LA riots there may not have been any Facebook, but there was certainly no shortage of media coverage on 24 hr cable TV news channels. I suspect that, comparitively speaking, the LA riots were not as widespread because both our police and our average citizens are better equipped to defend themselves and their property. [/QUOTE]
