Have you ever rioted before? I went to the WTO protests/riots in Seattle in the early 2000s. It was pretty fun honestly. I didn't loot or burn anything, but I don't feel bad when a starbucks gets looted.
Riots can also serve an important function for marginalized communities. What about the riots in Baltimore in response to police brutality against the black community? Those seem justified to me. In fact maybe they are the best way to get attention for a cause. Also while non-violent civil rights movements are justifiably remember today, people often forget the massive amount of riots that went with them. I'd say I'm pro the occasional riot.
