Riots born out of political issues aren't the same as those born out of personal greed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think riots happen when communities are under pressure for long periods of time. That's not a mistake.
The limitation of riots, moral questions aside, is that they cannot win and their participants know it. Hence, rioting is not revolutionary but reactionary because it invites defeat. It involves an emotional catharsis, but it must be followed by a sense of futility.
People might not protest for overtly political or social causes, but when they can't feed themselves and their family, they will take to the streets.
The 2011 riots in England, which left five dead and caused more than $300 million in property damage, were fueled by a generation of young Brits who grew up without ever hearing the word 'No.'
I don't cause riots, but I do cause confusion. People freeze when they spot me.
All great rebellions are born of private acts of civil disobedience that inspire rebel bands to plot together.
I don't think the riots derailed the civil rights movement.
Being born, especially being born a person of color, is a political act in itself.
The relationship between violence and nonviolence in this country is interesting. The fact of the matter is, you know, people do respond to riots. The 1968 Housing Act was in large response to riots that broke out after Dr. Martin Luther King was killed. They cited these as an actual inspiration.
The violent rioting that is sometimes now being called protesting - it makes the emotions so high that you almost cannot see the insults and injuries that are the people are suffering.
