TLDR; Rioting youths have been rioting for centuries.

Everyone knows today is different. The public weren't being attacked & burned out of their homes. Even if that happened in medieval times. We're supposed to be a modern civilzed society so in that context today's problems are like nothing we've seen before

Then how come it was so predictable? I do a day a week at a centre for young people and the staff, and even I knew what was coming sooner or later.
