I bet the science people that study riots n stuff are so excited to do science study stuff about this
Whoa, whoa, there's riot science? Man I've been taking the wrong courses.
Take a look at Mehdi Moussaid’s work. a French guy studying mobs, how people act like fluids in high number. Riots are just a part of it.
You may find videos on YT, automatically translated I guess.
I've read similar ideas about traffic acting like fluid in a pipe. I suppose starlings and those big schools of fish probably have some similarities, too L.
