But more on topic, I feel like rioter/looter mentality needs to be studied like we study any other criminal/culty behavior. It would be real interesting to know what kind of people these actually are. How these things are arranged. In the "normal" world, I'd like to know if I'm having a potential conversation with anyone regarding anything political, who or what element I'm actually dealing with. I can tell when someone is into "cult think", but harder to tell the kind of non-serious person who burns down buildings. And are these even people we run into on a regular basis whether it is offline and online? I'd like to know for myself, if who I am talking to, is this kind of special.
I don't think of TiBB as an oddball place (that kind, anyway). It's part of the "normal" world, just containing the more eccentric bits of active society. But I would like to know if any of you are knife-wielding axe murders in your spare time. /humor

The majority of them already had criminal records so you probably wouldn't spend much time with them unless you regularly fraternised with violent people and criminals (not that we should always ostracise people with records)
