I think the issue is that while condensing had introduced one more element which was not present in the original anti Arab riot You seem to agree that the rest of the stuff is ok As to calling it a riot vs demonstration or protests It seems to me that riot is appropriate and protests is far too weak It involved assaulting passers by and police and resulted in 40 arrests on charge of public disorder attempted assault of Arab minors assaulting police officers and property damage The Telegraph described it as a rampage The social media mentions are just auxillary describing the atmosphere not directly describing a riot
