You made specific remark in regard to blind rioting after a concert, correct? This kind of disturbance has clear associations with animal behavior.>

>Rioting usually occurs when people perceive a systematic disadvantage aimed at them. So they push back in whatever way is left to them. If there is a leader like Gandhi, the pushback may be mostly peaceful. If the pushback includes the armed forces, the government may be overturned simply on a General's say-so. But normally it is more expressive than that. Of course there are opportunists who join in for the sake of mayhem and pillage, but usually they are too few to start a riot of their own. Though widespread unemployed is a good start- we all know the saying about idle hands.

>I suppose it depends on what you believe to be the purpose of Government. What is your view about that?
People installed governments to protect their individual rights. It is quite enough, because even this function got distorted too many times. Any other functions could be kept, in ideal case, on bare-bone basis.
