To teach them a lesson, let’s riot and destroy our own community, that’ll show them were serious! The logic behind this idea is flawed to say the least. When you destroy your own community how does that affect those outside of it; even those that you believe are oppressing you? How does this motivate them to do anything to help you or improve the living conditions? Your destroyed community doesn’t really affect them that much after all and they’ll probably avoid going there, so why should they care?

Another side effect of this; any businesses that were destroyed during the riot may not come back afterwards and may not be replaced by another, thus diluting your community from their absence. So in the end, the community is declining instead of improving and they still don’t care; despite whatever they might have promised after the riot. It’s a troubling cycle that may never end.
