People who initiate riots are often filled with a sense of righteous indignation, which justifies in their own minds the actions they are committing. The same can't be said of the mob violence that ensues where in there may be some like minded individuals but there are all kinds of bandwagon supporters in large numbers just joining in as the excitement of the opportunity opens the door to all kinds of mischief (looting, vandalism, arson, assaults, rapes etc) which is not connected to the righteous indignation of the cause but is characteristic of a full blown riot.

You know this because that's what you felt when you rioted? Seems to me righteous indignation is a white man's luxury.

For me, I would riot if I felt like I didn't have anything more to lose.........that I was in a state of despair.....but then that's me.
