Well, now, you DO have a point.
I remember reading that of all the African tribes, the Pygmies were the only ones who could kill elephants. They were so small that they could run directly under the elephant with a spear and... well, you get the picture. (I suspect that's somewhat of an exaggeration; I wouldn't write the Masai off so easily... but...).
NTL, being small does have advantages in a lot of situations, unarmed combat being a notable exception. But,

You don't have to feel obligated to actually *riot* in order to participate, you know. You could still enjoy rioting as a spectator sport! I mean, it's not *that* much different from European soccer...
Now, that said, of course you have to learn the survival skills required of riot-watching non-participants, but that's merely the Zen of Rioting...

I would hand out guns, ammo, and anti-armor devices. The ole' American *Fair Play Doctrine* fairly applied. You know...., Liberty....Freedom...USA!
It would also mean better television. :}

Won't work... Remember that tired old joke, "it only takes one psychiatrist to change a lightbulb, but the lightbulb has to WANT to change"...
<< DUCKS >>

OOHhh.... NOW yer talkin. I smell MONEY in this.
Being able to predict where ultra-violence will break out, is worth *big* bucks to TV magnates... The more violence, the more money!
So if we're handing out the guns (Or nuclear weapons - Let's think big!) we'd know *exactly* where the schumer will hit the fan, and can *sell* that information to the nutworks - Making them bid against each other for the "Scoop"!!
We'll make millions, Max - And retire to that Greek island just before the blast wave arrives!!

I've always believed it's better to knock on Opportunity's door rather than wait around the house for a visit.

Where'd he go? I'll blow him a new Schumerhole!!

Might be of interest after January. Or not.
Damn, there I go again. Gotta be more careful when cleaning my triggers.
Happy Holidays!
