I just saw an interview with one of the mobsters on CNN, who also appears to be a rapper from a group that calls themselves "the new African Poets", he said that young AND old are standing together in this. It's not a band of kids on a rampage, it's a complete uprising. I've seen footage of others involved as well, and they were no kids either, they were all guys between the ages of 25 and 35. Last time i checked people of that age are accounted for as adults. You are still underestimating the danger of this situation. [/QUOTE]I would call 25 year olds quite young, not
teenagers granted, but still you enough to riot with them. I don't know the average age of these rioters, but I've only seen pictures and clips of teenagers. Perhaps there are older adults among them as well, but I doubt there are many 40+ year olds there, despite what some rapper said. But I could be wrong, of course.
I don't think I undersetimate the situation either; I'm just not willing to rattle my sabres quite yet. I AM in favour of the curfew, though. That should seperate the rioters from those smart enough to stay inside.
