Don't know about that, but there is ABSOLUTELY enough selfish/predatory/angry people in any population that will commit violent acts for profit and pleasure if the risks of being brought to justice disappears.
I would not have guessed it would erupt as fast as it did in Montreal, but empirically, it did.
I expect day 2 would have been a lot worse. Pray that we never find out :)
