When it goes off

This article was a riot between two different groups: the fans of the Manchester United and the fans of Tottenham. They didn't like each other and eventually during the day they met up by each other, across the street. Police men stood in the middle trying to control the situation but it was hard with such a big group. Robert wanted his one friend to come with him and see it all and experience the craziness and he was trying to protect him from gettin hurt. He waited and waited for the "big thing" to happen and it never did. Smelser's 6 Factors are the following:
1. Structural conduciveness-The structure of society is very violent and people know that they should hate the fans on the "other side" so it causes for problems.
2. Structural Strain-Everyone is pressured to attack the other side of people
3. Generalized belief-All the people there agree that what they are doing is right and they conform to one another's morals and ways of thinking
4. Precipitating factors-When the two sides came face to face across the street and the police were in the middle of them and one person crossed the line
5. Mobilization for action-They have a large group of people that are willing to take a violent action together
6. Madequate social control-In this situation the police were the authorities and they beat up people acting out of line but when they were standing in between the 2 groups they didn't do much.
