I agree, it is very problematic. As I wrote in somebody else's journal:
Regardless, rioting isn't the answer. It marginalizes the activist's point of view, and alienates the cause's advocates. Rioting results in a curtailment of basic civil liberties and inhibits future expressions of belief. Unhappiness with current events is not an excuse to engage in shameless self-promotion at the expense of other people's legitimate freedom of expression.
