The whole idea of this thing is contrary stupidity. If the good guys had "rioted" it would stop the vote and inhibit our own goals. Bam.

A point that I do not hear being made. The tifatard stuff happened before the robots inside had done their thing. We still needed them to vote in our favor and until that point there was no (real) reason to "riot." It was still early in the day. There was work to do. Maybe they vote in our favor, maybe they don't. But until...

So why? Why shoot early..? Just because they're dumbasses? No.

Somebody pulled the trigger at a specific time. They needed it to delay proceedings and claim it changed their minds or gave them an excuse to vote contrary to the evidence.

And as a bonus they get big mileage out of it after the fact in plenty of other ways too. Thank you for reading. ~{°¡°}~
