England riots: Are brooms the symbol of the resistance?

In the wake of the riots in English cities, law-abiding citizens have been picking up brooms and brushes and joining the clean-up. Is the broom the symbol of the resistance to the riots?
After the rioting every night this week, the news headlines told a bleak story of communities under attack. But hours later locals wearing wellies and washing up gloves were reclaiming the streets with brooms, bin bags and dustpans.

Boy am I getting tired of listening to people bang on about the riots in the UK and getting on their moral high-horse about “thugs” stealing things. Jesus Christ, it’s not that hard to understand how these things happen in a society where there’s institutionalized racism and, really, no hope for young kids in the city. David Cameron is a real piece of work, let me just say that, and they don’t give a shit about poor people. It becomes a tinderbox. OF COURSE most of those kids don’t know why they’re rioting or looting. But that’s not really the point. Anyhow, if anyone is really interested, Arthur Silber has a great post up about the riots and I think it’s well worth a read. I’m too tired to link to it right now.
