I've seen a flyer about something at Burnside Park tonight. Riots? Not so much.

Even though the one riot Providence had was absolutely planned to be exactly that, most riots aren't really planned and announced in advance.

Agreed. Most likely a protest or a vigil would not even rate compared to real riots. Providence is more likely to have a bunch of Brown University undergrads running around with signs, not, like, flipping over cars.

It wasn't planned to be a riot, It was organized looting.

I’d call that a distinction without much of a difference
