As it happens, a lot of those folks torching areas of the UK live in government housing and subsist on welfare, and the Brits have had about enough of it: Prime Minister David Cameron issued a stern warning as he backed withdrawing some of those "benefits".
Mr Cameron said overnight people who "loot and pillage their own community" should no longer be allowed to live in social housing, reflecting the tough line he has taken over four nights of violence in London, Manchester and Birmingham.
"Obviously, that will mean they've got to be housed somewhere else - they'll have to find housing in the private sector - and that will be tougher for them, but they should have thought of that before they started burgling," he said.
Rioters may even lose their welfare payments, under new regulations currently being considered. Oh, how harsh can they be?
