On that one, I have a pretty simple theory. Or three simple theories, to be exact.

- Everybody's really drunk.
- Nobody thinks they're going to get caught in a group of a thousand people.
- Rioting--burning stuff down, breaking windows, jumping on cars, etc--is really fun. Nobody will admit to it, but if someone said you could set a car on fire with absolutely no consequences, you'd probably give it a whirl. Especially if you're really drunk, and surrounded by thousands of people doing the same thing.
