i'm glad to hear that about the New York Times. there was
a hilarious fly-by on the news last night about how it was
joyfully reported in the middle east, and Greece. A Chinese
govt. spokeman also comparing it to the Arab spring (..?)

I'm not sure its about austerity. seems more like frustration
at not having a bigger share of the pie. also, it doesn't seem
to be about race. Lots of young gainfully employed people
getting arrested for theft, lots of children also.
Could it happen in the US ?
