They were riots only when people rioted.
I guess it depends on what the riot is about. Sometimes cities have riots if a favorite local sports team wins a championship. People tend to run amok and break things, but there's no actual "cause" attached to it. I even remember some riots by college students in Palm Springs many years ago, but it wasn't really for any cause either; they just got bored or something.

In the 1400's a law was set forth in
England that a man was allowed
To beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb.
Hence we have 'the rule
Of thumb'[/QUOTE]
The fact it's not a real thing is why I will never feel shame over using it, no matter the knee jerks and wails and gnashing of teeth.

I'm feeling sick and scheduled a covid test. There are no openings I can find for one until Monday, however.

I hope I'm just too stressed and not physiologically ill. Lacking a runny nose and cough has me thinking it might be that, but I feel awful regardless what's going on.
Weight to this hypothesis comes from how lately I've come to realize that after years of being in therapy, the cognitive behavioral therapy approach has done extremely little to actually ameliorate the root causes of some of my issues. As far as I can tell, CBT, staying busy at work or with hobbies, using drugs, or other means of taking your mind of the woes and keeping it distracted and away from those thoughts [thoughts often keep me awake at night].
And lots of other things. Without taking them I know my GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scores would be over 20 (severe and in need of professional help).

Everything pissing me off is another reason I'm suspecting stress over anything else. Still going ti play it safe until I get my test results, but, until then, my current guitar learning project:
I pretty much already have the first movement down.
The second movement I'll learn but I've never cared for it.
The third movement I feel like all the Metallica, Megadeth, Muse, Black Label Society and Slayer I've learned is going to be like playing tee-ball and then stepping into the major league. Maybe not quite that big of a leap, but it's going to be the hardest song I've attempted to learn.

Sure enough today, Mars the Bringer of War played in my car, and not only was there "duh-duduh-dududu," I had an intense urge to honk my horn to it. Because 21 amd 24 are awesome.
And I was greeted today, over someone's intercom thingy, with "are you my mommy?" The Dr. Who reference brought a smile to my face.

A riot is a riot is a riot,
be it over sports or politics or wanting lower rent.
I never said that everyone called riots "uprisings'.
Stop trying to win some silly imagined victory, Fido.
From Merriam Webster...
The adjective "omnibus" may not have much to do with public transportation, but the noun "omnibus" certainly does - it not only means "bus,"but it's also the word English speakers shortened to form "bus." The noun "omnibus" originated in the 1820s as a French word for long, horse-drawn vehicles that transported people along the main thoroughfares of Paris. Shortly thereafter, omnibuses - and the noun "omnibus" - arrived in New York. But in Latin, "omnibus" simply means "for all." Our adjective "omnibus," which arrived in the mid-1800s, seems to hark back to that Latin omnibus, though it may also have been at least partially influenced by the English noun. An "omnibus bill" containing numerous provisions, for example, could be likened to a bus loaded with people.

"omni" is such as useful word prefix: omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient and omnivore.
