"some people enjoy rioting and it does not necessarily have a political motivation".
They enjoy causing violent disruption and chaos without feeling any negative consequences. Some of them are merely disaffected and can respond to education, others have more complex situations that need more drastic intervention (prison).
Everyone’s got something going on internally, but not all of us act out by joining a riot.

i've read a few articles assessing the spectrum of views on a) motivation and b) societal / govt response.
depending on the context and socioeconomic make up of the rioters, they may be "scum" or "unheard voices".
the range of proffered responses may be anything from long term imprisonment, deportation, removal of rights to education, communication, regeneration, social investment etc.
there is a third view which says "some people enjoy rioting and it does not necessarily have a political motivation".
