I suppose that this has already been considered, but I want to ask anyway, if for no other reason than to provide myself with the forum to voice my thoughts.

Where was Magneto last week? If I were a megalomaniacal mad evil genius, then I would use such an opportunity to launch a strike against my enemies. My first answer is that the riot was too sudden and he couldn't get there in time to further fan the flames of chaos. But he's no fool, and I would expect him to have anticipated such anarchy, so he'd have arrived in Seattle before our field trip did. Though maybe he was just working behind the scenes, aggravating and enticing people to riot, rather than making an explicit appearance himself.

So where was he?

I don't know... the riot itself wasn't a good way for him to accomplish the sort of thing he's interested in accomplishing, I think. Too much chaos, very little point to it.

That's not to say I wouldn't be interesting in knowing if he was in Seattle last week.

I could see him using the riot as a cover for something else, but Magento's not normally much about 'fanning the flames of chaos'. He has got a plan for pretty much everything he does, even if it's not always apparent at the time what his plan is.

That said, I also think the riot was a little too unpredictable for him to have used it as a cover. It's the sort of thing where, unless you kick it off yourself, you can't be sure it will even start, and once it does you can't control it.
