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. Only the police, alerted to the message, appeared at the restaurant. Blackshaw was arrested and charged with inciting violent disorder."
