Rioting has never done plutocrats a bit of good. To the contrary. So, of course, let's come down hard on it. Makes the plutocrats sleep better to know that "thugs" will get punished severely

Mind you, rioting is a separate charge from hurting a person or property damage or being a public nuisance, etc. all of which are covered by other laws.

Madison's fear of common people was certainly contagious.
