Never go through an area like that unless you are caught by surprise. Be heavily armed with weapons ready.
Slow down and try to slowly move through the area. If they start throwing Molotov cocktails or try to break in, roll down the windows and begin shooting. pick out deliberate targets who you think are instigators. Of course the ones trying to kill you should get the first bullets.
Drive as fast as you can while still maintaining control of your vehicle. Get out of there as fast as reasonably possible.
If they have their blood lust up they probably will kill you no matter what but 9 times out of 10 if you begin shooting, they will run away.

Right you are. Rioting is for fun and profit, not for rioters dying.
