Cracking down on riots is not comparable to "the derisory sentence for the rape of an 8-yr old girl", or whatever false equivalence was drawn up earlier in the thread.
Without a basic framework of law and order, we'd all be living in The Purge, and terrible crimes (such as the rape example) would be a feg-sight more common than they currently - thank goodness - are.
Crack down hard on all crims
Pick the bones out of that one, @ReganAndCarter
