I can't speak for the rest of the country, but up here in Manchester everyone is pretty breezy. Obviously people are sad for the poor chap who was murdered - especially as he's a local lad - but I don't get the sense that anyone's ready to riot.
It's almost as if people think the barbarism of a couple of murderous idiots doesn't have to become more than what it actually is - the barbarism of a couple of murderous idiots.
