Although the media across the world have picked up on these photos, the
crazy thing is that this is quite a "normal" sight in most major towns and
cities in the UK on a Friday and Saturday night.

Well at least people don't get shot as they lay there which would happen in
some parts of the world. Life in the UK has its problems and its alienated
youth but I would still rather live here than in a country that bans
alcohol.

The US got it back I think but still bans alcohol for under 21 in most
places I thought. Though you are more likely to be shot in US cities
than UK ones at the moment but it is getting touch and go these days.

OK!
This being Wales, the question comes to mind regarding recent UK street
photography, sensitive souls and the Law;
"Why don't all the UK police departments get their training on
photography rights, in Cardiff?"
There haven't been any headlines regarding the arrest and prosecution
of photographers in that City.
That makes it appear to be an island of common sense and photographic
freedom in the UK, given all the other silly stories.
The other local recreational activities just beg to be recorded for
posterity and cultural history. I assume this was the aftermath of the
district Eistedford?

Who specifically are you calling "the west"
France is not having a problem.
Germany is not having a problem
Not Canada or Mexico
Spain seems to be at peace with Islam.

Muslims are peace loving people who just want to get on with their lives
just like the rest of us. And I'm not a Muslim just in case you ask.

True but that could be a legacy thing afterall black people especially
youths
have almost be given to go ahead to do what they want, they know the police
will avoid them whenever possible due to the fear of being called racist.
Of course the police were and might still be racist to some extent .

I thought it was having problems with Algerians and 'Muslims'
in fact weren't they thinking of banning the 'Muslim outfits'
Not sure of the others below but the USA seems to have
problems with Mexicans otherwise they wouldn't need boarder controls.

The problems with boarders in general is they tend to stay a lot more
than a few nights or months. Then they want gov't handouts.
Border controls are in place for every civilized nation I can think of,
and some that aren't so civil.

What struck me about the pictures was that you regularly read of litter
wardens or Police Canteen Support Officers fining people for dropping a
crisp or a crumb, it can even be that they think someone dropped something
without any actual evidence. They usually seem to target people like young
mothers who are not likely to react violently. I wondered why they are not
out preventing real examples of littering as can be seen in these pictures.

You're also more likely to be able to shoot back in the USA.

age for voting. Some, including Texas, lowered it to 18 and then raised
it back to 21, mainly because of pressure from school organizations.
Seems that older students in the public schools might have a beer or two
at lunch--horrors!
Unfortunately, you are right about the odds of being shot are too high here.
