Maybe they like to burn the candle at both ends, so to speak?

I wonder how much financial and economic stress plays a part in people's desire to riot? Is rioting less likely to happen when the economy is good? People have more to lose? Is a hockey loss just an excuse for showing general disgruntlement?
