Real riots are about using mob violence to grab stuff.

The factors to consider are:

- the availability of stuff to grab
- who possesses the means for overwhelming violence, mob or anti-mob.
- the size of the potential mob
- the mindset of the potential mob

Thus, the size and duration of any riot is determined by who can apply the most violence the quickest for the greatest loot. Overwhelming violence applied to any riot extinguishes it. The quicker it's applied, the quicker the riot dies.

Apply that to various cities.

Seattle: Size of potential mob is small. Mindset is poor. Stuff to grab is concentrated. Anti-mob forces cannot apply violence quickly or overwhelmingly.

Houston: Size of potential mob is large. Mindset of potential mob is good due to plenty of poor hispanics and blacks. Stuff to grab is geographically spread out. Anti-mob forces can summon overwhelming violence very fast because most of the citizenry is armed.

Los Angleles: Size of potential mob is large. Mindset of potential mob is good due to plenty of poor hispanics and blacks. Stuff to grab is geographically spread out. Anti-mob forces cannot summon overwhelming violence very fast because most of the citizenry is unarmed.

I am not sure Ft. Sumpter qualifies as a riot.

[TommyJefferson]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ludi', 'A')nd heavily armed rioting citizens would be better how exactly?

Dead Men don't riot.

Lenins third law or something.

We had an aunt living in Homestead during Andrew. I remember the You Loot We Shoot signs on what was left of some people's homes.

The one sign that caused the most contemplation stated: You Loot We Eat.

[dohboi]

Do police riots count for the definition here?

In most cases I've seen, the only ones using force against other persons are the cops. Carrying on about the likelihood of citizen riots skews the whole discussion towards an assumption that we need heavily armed police to control people standing up for their rights.

There should be a whole lot more outrage everywhere about the institutionalized robbery that our economy and government has become.

Anybody choose Athens??

I read that 1 US County in any state -USA has more weapons and ammo then George Washingtons entire army had during the war from 1775-1783.
If Detroit dont get more then 15B they will sink...And Detroit will be withourt massave revenue....and come summer...historically black cities with high unemployment will riot.
If not Detroit I expect Some Calf city come summer to riot. Likely LA

Third day of Rioting in Athens

ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece braced for a third day of demonstrations on Monday after the fatal shooting by police of a teenager triggered underlying anger over the Conservative government's economic policies and the worst rioting in decades.

Thousands clashed with police and rampaged through Athens and other cities this weekend, destroying scores of businesses, injuring dozens and piling pressure on the conservative government, whose ratings have already been hit by a slowdown.

"Athens and Thessaloniki under siege" said daily Eleftheros Typos on its front page, while Apogevmatini newspaper headlined: "48 hours of horror."

Despite the arrest of two police officers for the killing of the 15-year-old boy, the Greek Communist Party announced a mass rally in central Athens for Monday evening and the socialist PASOK opposition, which has taken the lead in opinion polls recently, called for peaceful mass demonstrations.

Cars and pedestrians returned to Athens streets as Greeks went back to work, but the mood was tense. In the main shopping street, Ermou, a police team began to assess the destruction.

"It is quiet now but I've never seen anything like it in my life. People overreacted," said Yiorgos Ganatsikos, 52, a kiosk owner. "I hope they don't continue. Otherwise, God help us."

With a 24-hour general strike scheduled for Wednesday against pension reforms and the government's economic policies, many Greeks fear the demonstrations could last for days.

Does Athens win? Damn.

[wisconsin_cur]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('wisconsin_cur', 'P')ick your city one and all. When four moderators/administrators agree that a particular city is the first to a) riot and b) due to economic factors we will declare the winners.
