Revuelta
Una revuelta es cuando grupos de personas se juntan para cometer actos de violencia por lo general como una reacción contra una sensación de injusticia o injuria, o como un acto de disenso. Históricamente, se han producido revueltas debido a condiciones de vida marginales, explotación en el trabajo, opresión por el gobierno, descontento por impuestos o conscripción, conflictos entre razas o religiones, y hasta como consecuencia de un evento deportivo. En muchos casos los revoltosos se supone actúan en forma violenta porque ellos perciben que los canales legales son inadecuados para corregir la injusticia.
