Confession: I find the "rioters attack car, get creamed" genre quite satisfying. It's like popping bubblewrap. Immediate. Soothing. Fulfilling. If watching dangerous, violent heathens getting instantly karma-ed makes me a bad person, then a bad person be I. So far what I've seen are rioters attacking cars, those cars' drivers issuing warnings via honks or gentle nudges, followed by rioters escalating with more violence. Only for the driver to hit the accelerator and win the argument. It's a formulaic genre, sure, but a valuable one. Like a rom-com, you know the guy is going to get the girl in the end. Only here it's a grill and some bodies hitting the concrete.
A tweeterer believes this happened in Downtown San Jose.
