The UK riots were caused by mainly young people and teens in the UK who want to be heard. They were acting out against police and authorities so that their voices and opinions could be heard.
They all started after a young man named Mark Duggan was killed by the police for having possession of a gun. People were outraged and started to protest against the police through the use of technology such as Twitter, Facebook, BBM, etc., which resulted in rioting through the streets of England.
Teens were rioting through the streets, flipping cars; lighting vehicles and stores on fire; smashing in stores windows and rummaging through the shops, stealing whatever merchandise they can/want; and they were wreaking havoc in the streets.
The police in England were trying to put a halt to the teens, but they couldn't seem to get them under control. There were children as young as eight or nine out rioting in the streets and stealing from the stores. There was such a high number of rioters, that the police could not regain control of them.
There were on-lookers and citizens of England were not impressed by the rioters, and they had come together to clean up the streets and try to repair the damage that had been caused.
