They definitely shouldn't, but rioting isn't a rational response pretty much ever. It's emotional and with the way it sounds like things were in that town before the shooting it was just the incident needed to push things to the point of people being angry enough to riot.
Think about a guy who's just lost his shitty job, his wife just left him for his brother, and his dog just died. Then he gets a parking ticket and punches the meter maid in the face. You shouldn't punch a meter maids in the face for something as trivial as a parking ticket, especially since you got it for breaking the law, but the buildup from previous shit makes it hard for you to step back and be reasonable.
(ya my analogies suck but I think that one's good enough?)
