Was it worth a riot?

Can't blame Walmart. The cost was less than a burnt out store and the risk of injured workers.

Under your logic they should have continued to allow the purchases even after the limits started showing up again. The police showed up to help when the limits started showing up again. They would have shown up earlier had Walmart requested them.

But there wouldn't have been riot conditions in the first place if Walmart hadn't made the decision to go ahead and allow purchases without limits.
