People get upset about riots because they don’t live up to the standards we set for the legal system: orderly, hierarchical, governed by a clear set of rules, ie due process.
A “just riot”, if we are to accept there can accept there is such a thing, would be unlikely to take the form of the established legal system, as its source is entirely outside of said system; if there were an avenue for redress within the legal system, how could it be just to riot? Riots only make sense when there is a clear failure within the legal system to deliver justice.
