The thing about riots and mob violence is that 1) it's very hard to predict when and where a riot will start up. Two sets of events may both seem to be a powder keg waiting to blow and one will go boom and the other one won't. 2) When such an event occurs it's very unlikely that someone is going to be standing round video taping who does what to who so that it's hard to say so and so did this and this person did that when things come to a court of law. I wonder how many people who took part in the L.A. riot some yrs ago (after Rodney King's attackers were let go) were actually caught for their crimes against others. Probably not many and it was national news. The point is that such a trial can possibly lead to another riot as well. Either someone thinks that someone got away with it or that someone was framed for the crime or something. I wonder how long before this thread is moved to politics/religion.
