Why Riot?

 When citizens serve a corrupt government instead of the government serving the people...
 When financial institutions prey on the working man's 401k...
 When the government thinks that it's easier to imprison some of it's citizens instead of treating them fairly...
 When educational institutions would rather cheat than teach...
 When religious institutions prey on their members...
When we are involved in business which is not our own...
When parents fail to protect their own children...
People lose faith in the institutions which hold society together.
When people lose all hope - people riot.

  2. Yep! And those who watch society decline know it's only a matter of time before the smoker throws a butt out the window into some brush and it turns into a inferno.

    But those who are insulated from it and profit from it don't make the societal decisions to stop it early. So it's inevitable primarily because people never learn until their house is the one on fire.
