When they´re fed up with their government they actually do something against it, whereas when the Germans are fed up with their government they sit on their fat asses and drink beer in front of their TVs complaining and wondering why the bad government won´t go away.
It is however a bad thing if it happens way too many times. Philippines had way too much of it, and Thailand is now mired with it.

:wtf:
You mean the taxi driver's blockade back in 1990? You can call that many thing, except a riot. (nytimes article from 1990)

Riots are what happened back in 2006 september-october and every march 15. and october 23 since then.
