London Riot - Young black man questions Borris Johnson
This report shows very little violence showing another side to the youths, it seems that there has not been any looting behavior and things were getting back to normal. Which in turn is showing youth culture in a different light. Seemingly that the youths were not looting but fighting for a cause which matters to them. The young black man in the clip gives strong opinions and challenges Borris Johnson to give answers which he didn't give.

Malaysian student
During the London Riots, a Young Malaysian Student was attacked and knocked off his feet and a group of black youths go to help him get up and seemed to feel sorry for the man which seemed to challenge the views of David Starkey on News Night where he was racist and seemed to dislike the behavior of Black youths today. However as the video went on the group of Black youths robbed the distracted, disorientated man. As one man helped the man an other man went into his bag and took things out of it.
This was filmed by what is seemed to be people looking out of their window and they seemed shocked and to think that these people were actually going to help the Malaysian student. They seemed to condone the behavior of robbing him.
The footage shown shows heartless behavior, the innocent people are being victimized during the riots as people think the police are distracted by the rioting and people think that it is an excuse for acting in such thuggish ways.
