The Dangerous Thrill of Riots

As parts of the UK burn after horrific attacks and renewed unrest, @paddyney asks the question most people avoid: not whether riots are wrong, but whether they actually achieve anything.

From the thrill of the crowd, to the England riots of 2011, Stonewall, Watts, Hannah Arendt, Martin Luther King, and the modern social media accelerant, this episode looks at what riots change, what they destroy, and why the people who pay the highest price are often the people already closest to the fire.
