Michael Weiss unloads on the British rioters:
The ostensible cause of the riots was last Thursday's shooting of Tottenham resident Mark Duggan, a 29-year-old father of four, in circumstances that the London Metropolitan Police can't seem to explain. A thorough investigation is pending. But if this is the Amadou Diallo moment for Blighty, then why are minorities and the working class the principal victims of "socially excluded" aggression?

Richard Mannington Bowes, 68, suffered head injuries in the attack as he tried to put out a fire. A 22 year old man has been arrested. After four nights of rioting in London and around Britain, a massive police operation has helped to quell the violence. By Jim Dyson/Getty Images.)
