Not really. Any large gathering of angry people is dangerous (and especially capable of killing). No?

I think this is a good point to throw out a reminder: danger is not binary. If it were binary all of these activities would be equivalent:
* taking a nap * eating a meal * riding a bicycle * playing Russian roulette
