I can find almost no mention of riots in holland within the last few years so I can't compare, but the destruction has been huge in England. The Dutch riots you describe at least had a reason behind them.
The lootings here are predominately youths out for free stuff and attacking "rich people". They arn't protesting against anything and most dont try fighting the police, they just run from shop to shop, steal what they can, often filling up cars full of goods, then moving on setting fire to stuff as they go. Supermarkets have been completely cleared and Sonys massive distribution warehouse (for CDs and DVDs) has been razed to the ground. Its just senseless violence.
Well no, our riots weren't as much 'riots'. It was just a bunch of high school kids taking on a random reason to run amok in the cities or buzz off from school for a week. We didn't have any deaths or such, just a lot of broken windows all over the country. I just got reminded of those incidents when you said people were mindlessly doing stuff in mobs because they could.
Ah yeah I see what you mean, it is the same mentality of thinking they can get away with it. To be honest it must be pretty exciting to be running around being chased by police as part of a massive group, maybe breaking a few things along the way, and I guess this is the main reason its grown so huge. But burning down peoples homes, injuring people, murdering people, looting everything and destroying high streets is disgusting. I hope they all get sent to prison for years.
It looks like all the looters who have been arrested so far are being sent to the crown court as they can issue heavier sentences.

I think they should just start killing the idiots. I cant imagine the them even becoming anything more than trouble for themselves and others, so better just to get rid of them...I just find that the guys who do this must have something seriosly wrong in their head, too bad it might be fault of bad parenting or bad society :(
