more riots

[Caran]

What are the odds on the rioters/thieves having a go at the Olympics and destroying everything, I feel it's a great possibility.

I would count that as a positive move in the right direction.

I'd like to see some having a go at the US team quarters............I believe their security are armed.

The vast majority of 'rioters' seem to be nothing more than 'opportunist looters'. The Olympic Stadium (and the rest of the Olympic Village) doesn't offer the same temptations as, say, a branch of PC World. The chances of the Olympic site being attacked at present are effectively nil.

The actual Games are many months away and history (e.g. the events of 1981) shows that riots tend to 'burn out' very quickly. While international terrorism does present a genuine threat to the Olympic Games, handfuls of disorganised rioters most definitely do not.

What about them rioting away from the olympics?

All the police will be tied up in the olympics
