There are groups of anarchists that are indeed "pro riot" as a form of protest. I guess maybe you could say burning businesses and vandalizing things isnt rioting, but most other people would call it that. They are mostly young punk kids from my experience. There aren't a ton but they do exist. They don't go after neighborhoods like right wing media would portray, they target buildings owned by corporations that kind of deserve it, mostly. I'm not saying rioting is always a bad thing, myself. Sometimes it is warranted when a matter is serious enough and all other avenues aren't working.
