Trivia

It is optional to go to the clothing store. You can go to the riot straight away.
This is one of only two missions where Spand Express trucks are available. Their color is different from the Jury Fury one.
However, the mission requires the player to destroy the Spand Express trucks, which makes it hard to obtain and save one. There is however a simple workaround to this problem; the player has to drive the Spand Express truck to their garage and hit it until it starts letting off black smoke and get in, hit it on walls until it starts burning then crash it inside your garage. The "Mission Passed!" notice will show, but when the garage door is opened, the truck is repaired.
After completing this mission, the player can collect a Hidden Package located at the back of the Spand Express building.
If you have grenades or thrown weapons you can throw a grenade into the area and destroy everything without causing a riot. This can also be done by shooting the trucks through the fence with a firearm.
- However, this can incur the big penalty of up to a 3-star wanted level.
After the guards/workers are all dead, the rest of the other faction will fight among themselves just like they're on the riot cheat, and will continue to fight passers-by until death when only one of them is left.
After the mission is completed, the rioters will drop a lot of money and killing them all will give you thousands of dollars. However, your wanted level may rise depending on how stealthily you do it.
After all of the Spand Express workers have been killed, the security guards will start to attack the player, even without provocation.
