- te_chris 14y agoLet's just forget the mass protests all over the western world recently then.
- kamaal 14y agoProtests are very different than riots. Riots are when masses 'give up' and resort to something else. Needless to say the entire western world is very far away from it.
- grecy 14y agoWhat about the Occupy Protests in LA?
- mbell 14y agoThe irony is that no where near 99% showed up, it was actually far closer to 1%.
- lifeguard 14y agoI would not even call the Black Bloc rioters. They use guerrilla tactics, hit and run. Occupy protests are not riots despite all the police in riot suits standing around sweating.

- nvmc 14y agoThose were barely riots. A whole lot of college students killed some grass on some public parks. For a noble cause.

- killerdark 14y agoAnd we had a couple more around Paris a few years back as well.
- ajays 14y agoDon't forget Greece.
