There is a war on flash mobs. Newscorp seems to be behind the disinformation after the riots in England, Newscorp is seen as having a role in the events that initiated the violence, though indirectly due the Newscorp related corruption in the police department.
I noticed that Fox news attributed the end of the London riots to the massive deployment of police officers, however reports from witnesses in London state that the police took no action to disperse the rioters. Shop keepers arming themselve with whatever blunt instruments available, drove back the looters and arrests were made much later.
