Also, call it a freak out .... but shit is hitting the fan

Read this :

Oct. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi reversed his comments that leaders are discussing closing the world's financial markets while they ``rewrite the rules of international finance.''

An hour earlier, during a press conference in Naples following a Cabinet meeting, Berlusconi said, ``The idea of suspending the markets for the time it takes to rewrite the rules is being discussed.''
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, which fell as much 8.1 percent in early trading, pared much of those losses after Berlusconi's remarks. The Dow was down 3.3 percent at 11:04 a.m. in New York.

White House spokesman Tony Fratto denied that there were plans to close financial markets. He made the comment just before Berlusconi reversed his original statement.

Group of Seven finance ministers and central bankers are meeting in Washington today, and will stay in town for the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings this weekend. European Union leaders may gather in Paris on Oct. 12, three days before a scheduled summit in Brussels, Berlusconi said today, while Group of Eight leaders may hold a meeting on the crisis ``in coming days,'' he said.

Things are going to get a little bit worse.....

"In the 21st century life will be brutal and short"
Sir Peregrine Worsthorpe 1990's. Daily Telegraph

Worsthorne has since come to criticise quite strongly the legacy of Margaret Thatcher's government; during the 1980s, his ambivalence to what he saw as her "bourgeois triumphalism" resulted in Worsthorne and the Telegraph being out of favour at 10 Downing Street for some time (Worsthorne (1993) 256). More recently in 2005 he argued that Thatcher's "utterly un-Tory ideological excesses left such a bad taste in the mouth of the English people as to make Conservatism henceforth unpalatable, except as a last resort in the absence of a less dire alternative".<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-11>[12]</SUP> He added: "For many of our people, life in the late 20th and in the 21st Century will be repulsive, brutal, and short as well."

A riot never heard anything. More likely a crowd of people gathered in protest outside a bank. Dont always trust what pictures show. Check out independant media resources you get better information.

Just read a little more on this thread, ya i guess i was partly right.
