Dame Rachel de Souza, the children’s commissioner for England, said young people were not primarily motivated by “far-right, anti-immigration or racist views” or by online misinformation, contrary to what she called the “prevailing narrative”.
Instead, she said, many were driven by a hatred of police and saw the riots as a chance to retaliate. Others were “driven by curiosity or the thrill of the moment”.

Definitely need to keep this concept in minds in our age of misinformation.
Just because something is said a lot on the internet does not mean it’s an accurate indication of reality.
The kids are alright
