Riot

Riots are notable as they often represent a breakdown of public order and can be pivotal historical events, signaling deep-seated societal issues, political tension, or civil conflict. They result in substantial property damage, injuries, and can lead to widespread legal and political repercussions.

Recently, the term has appeared in news headlines in varied contexts. While some reports use the term figuratively to describe strong fan reactions, others cover specific legal proceedings concerning riots, such as a case in India's Supreme Court where authorities described an event as pre-planned. The term also appears in business news unrelated to civil disorder, referring instead to a company name in the video game industry.
