My mistake. I didn't think of those ones until ten seconds after my comment.

Let's just forget the mass protests all over the western world recently then.

Protests 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.

What about the Occupy Protests in LA?

The irony is that no where near 99% showed up, it was actually far closer to 1%.

Those were barely riots. A whole lot of college students killed some grass on some public parks. For a noble cause.

I 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.

Feds on hackernews, rad!

Don't forget Greece.
