<Tries to reconcile idea of riot with normal behaviour in Edinburgh during the Festival.> I think the police could have difficulty differentiating the rioters from normal visitors, performers and promotional agents. During the Festival, Edinburgh is somewhat busy, full of people doing mad things to advertise their events and shows.

That all said, I'll probably drop a line to the EBF folks to let them know (they were fine with it last year).
