Are the rebels in Syria bad?

It's difficult to say for certain, which is often the case in Civil wars such as this. Both sides, Qaddafi and the rebels, had their pros and cons. Qaddafi sent military troops to wipe out protesters, which is certainly something bad, but on the other hand, he did manage to keep the peace among the individual tribes and elders of Libya. The rebels, on the other hand, fought for democracy, and to oust a tyrant, which Qaddafi surely was. They do, however, have a daunting task ahead of them: rebuilding Libya.

I believe we'll need to wait and see how they do before we can truly classify them as 'good'. But, I suppose for the sake of the question, I would say that, compared to Qaddafi, yes, the rebels were good.

What was the significance of the watts riots?

During the Watts riots themselves, the major change was that of goods changing hands: at least 290 houses and shops were looted. After the riots, a lot of recomendations were made, but most of them were not implemented.

A major change was that gradually the de facto housing segregation in Los Angeles disappeared, but that also happened in other cities and states in the last 4 to 5 decades and cannot clearly be attributed to the Watts riots. It might be said that the riots did bring home the message to the then predominantly white leadership that the days of officially tolerated racial discrimination (real or perceived) were over.
