Some of what you post here is accurate, especially about self-styled anarchists in the US. But for whatever undeniable authentic subversive social content and historical legitimacy events like these have, the big problem with outbreaks of rioting and looting is that they burn off fast and leave nothing behind to build on. A little sporadic social unrest doesn't ever add up to a full-scale social revolution. If anything, afterwards the more politically-minded people who participate in these events tend to get more plugged into work-within-the-system type reforms, not anti-capitalist system efforts.
