Riots are a form of civil disorder characterized by disorganized groups lashing out in a sudden and intense rash of unpremeditated violence, vandalism or other crime. While a riot may be premeditated and intentionally incited, a true riot is quickly joined by people without foreknowledge of the riot. While individuals may attempt to lead or control a riot, riots are particularly chaotic and exhibit herd behavior.
