I was definitely guilty of that too, it's just so USUAL here (they don't call it 'riot season' for nothing!) that it just seemed a bit par for the course - especially being sparked by the cops shooting someone!
Best thing I ever saw an attempt a burning was the time (manymany years ago) when Internment Day riots were still all the rage and they hijacked a BIN LORRY and tried for quite some time to set it on fire. It eventually did go up with a very... damp boom ;p
