“Whenever I happen to be in a city of any size, I marvel that riots do not break out everyday: Massacres, unspeakable carnage, a doomsday chaos. How can so many human beings coexist in a space so confined without hating each other to death?”
Emile M. Cioran
“If our colleges and universities do not breed men who riot, who rebel, who attack life with all the youthful vim and vigor, then there is something wrong with our colleges. The more riots that come on college campuses, the better world for tomorrow.”
William Allen White
“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.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
“I'm not sure I'm going to get out of here alive. I'm scared of riots. I'm scared of the locals. We might get caught in the crossfire.”
Ray Nagin
“The French riots are also not helping the euro,”
Ian Gunner
“Around 50 inmates were involved. Tickets were written for inciting riots and participating in a riot. All the prisoners participating have been transferred to higher security prisons.”
Tom Tylutki
“Passion is the mob of the man, that commits a riot upon his reason”
William Penn
