Maybe you should think a bit harder about what you said. The law breaking they have condoned is directed against oppressive laws, laws that we have come to consider unjust. That distinction ever occurred to you or have you missed freshers' introduction when you studied law?
The law breaking in London is directed against some of the poorest communities.
And stop playing the race card! It wont help you anymore. The victims of the rioters in London, living in the most deprived areas, are black too. So trashing their communities is not going to improve anything!

Of course I condone law breaking. My great-grandparents were slave. My father lived during jim crow and was almost killed by a white man for saying hello to a white woman and depsite his college education had to drive taxis and work in factories. I went to segregated schools because of the law. I went to colored bathrooms because of the law. I had to sit in the back of the bus because of the law . . .
Yes I condone law breaking as did Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr. Jesus and many others.
I stand by my statement -- Breaking the law is not the worst thing -- Accepting oppression quietly is far worst.
