Does "the thrill-seeking rich" mean "the rich people who seek thrill"?

====================
Senator’s ‘Send In the Troops’ Op-Ed in The Times Draws Online Ire
Staff members at the newspaper, including a Pulitzer winner, denounced an opinion essay by Tom Cotton, Republican of Arkansas, calling for a military response to protests.

.....................In the essay, Mr. Cotton also described instances of looting in New York City as “carnivals for the thrill-seeking rich as well as other criminal elements” and warned that the antifascism movement “antifa” had infiltrated the marches. (On Monday, a Times article described the theory that antifa was responsible for the riots and looting as “the biggest piece of protest misinformation tracked by Zignal Labs,” a media insights company.)

Yes.

We say seek thrills (plural). It doesn't work as an uncountable noun.
