The grand experiment that's failing is setting up a huge and every expanding government and having people get dependent on it. The reality that people are facing is tough, and some people don't want to deal with it, or they just use other people's anger at the political situation to provide some cover for their own greed (looting) or random rage (rioting and violence). Another experiment that's failing is not dealing forcefully with violent criminals. If your soft on policing and riot control the riots continue. Not that going to far the other way is good either, police abuse is wrong and can be unproductive even counterproductive, but an effort needs to be made to impose some order. A third experiment that's failing is the idea that trying to keep people from protecting themselves will make things more secure and peaceful.
