Don't bookmakers have to offer you odds on anything based on random probability? Though you could target them yourself of course.
Personally I'd much rather see some of these arsonists gettinng shot dead than innocent people getting killed by their stupidity...

I remember once reading that they were offering odds of about 7 to 1, on there being a streaker at Ascot. Talk about easy money! I was tempted to travel down there, put a grand on and get my kit off!
The arson is by far the biggest problem I agree. Looting does look terrible in a civilised society, especially in Britain, but arson kills indiscriminately. They'll be a big hunt on for the fire starters, for sure. There was a news photo on the web of a woman jumping from a window against a background of a raging inferno in Croydon. Really shocking!
I'm havin' a bit of this! 
Excellent. Was just about to post that!

Apparently this is all a result of Blackberry's misguided "Free Microwave With Every Purchase" offer.

Genius.
Da Butt is this shit on the news over there?
Or have the US news agencies bigger fish at the moment?
Strathclyde Polis have nabbed a 16-year-old bastard for trying to set up, via Facebook, a riot in Glasgow. Well done, the Polis!
Or if you want to be polite - the Police.
In the Village the People are rioting! "Y?"

It's getting plenty of coverage and I've heard people discussing it on the street. Most seemed dumfounded by the lack of tear gas and aggressive tactics being used by the police.
Where the heck are these brats parents? They need to be accountable surely, these 'rioters' are not even adults, most of them look under 18.
Bargain, seems legitimate?

Ha, a lot of things Bill Hicks said on stage came true after his death, and now the famous "The Hooligans Are Knocking Over Dustbins In Shaftesbury" routine is making sense

Are there any black people in Glasgow?
