This study extends classical models of spreading epidemics to describe thephenomenon of contagious public outrage, which eventually leads to the spreadof violence following a disclosure of some unpopular political decisions and/oractivity. Accordingly, a mathematical model is proposed to simulate from thestart, the internal dynamics by which an external event is turned into internalviolence within a population. Five kinds of agents are considered: "Upset" (U),"Violent" (V), "Sensitive" (S), "Immune" (I), and "Relaxed" (R), leading to aset of ordinary differential equations, which in turn yield the dynamics ofspreading of each type of agents among the population. The process is stoppedwith the deactivation of the associated issue. Conditions coinciding with atwofold spreading of public violence are singled out. The results shed a newlight to understand terror activity and provides some hint on how to curb thespreading of violence within population globally sensitive to specific worldissues. Recent world violent events are discussed.
