What causes riots?

A Lack of RESPECT causes riots, fights, wars, and destruction. You see when one side doesn't respect the other side and no one can see a compromise this is what starts a riot.* To be more specific: # Dr. Martin Luther King. He made so many positive steps for blacks and whites.By being non violent. Being non violent is a way of respecting the enemy that doesn't have respect for you. When Dr. Martin Luther King was killed this made a lot of blacks angry so they took to the streets and started a riot to release their frustrations of their leader being killed. # By being non violent. No matter what they do to you, you trust in GOD or what ever you choose to believe in and even if it kills you ? You will still have won. Everything boils down to RESPECT. # With out respect ? You actually have nothing but CHAOS. Everyone will be walking over everyone and before you know it you have a fight and then a riot.
