London Riots: Britain’s Crazy Crackdown on Young Protesters - The Daily Beast: "Jordan Blackshaw never reached the riot he’d planned. At the height of last week’s disturbances, the 20-year-old posted a message on a social-networking site urging friends to gather at the local McDonald’s in Northwich, a quiet town in northwest England for an evening of “lootin’.” But his call on Facebook went unanswered.
