I'd like to know, where are the peaceful protesters? Are there pics of them peacefully demonstrating, and then a huge mob comes and takes over? Or is it in fact, a mob from the get go?
Just asking.
I don't know, MS.
For two weeks people were protesting with nothing but some words thrown about. The protestors were getting some answers, but not full answers. The city officials were asking for more time and peace. Things were pretty peaceful with some squirmishes; things were contained.
Then, there was a Purge declaration circulated at a high school on the day of the funeral (yesterday) and a bunch of teens initiated stone and bottle throwing, throwing rocks at police, etc... From there, I believe other opportunistic bottom feeders -- some reportedly gang members from in and out of the city, others probably low-life adult residents -- appear to have jumped on the thug bandwagon.
That's my take based on what I've read and seen, some of which is referenced in the CNN timeline that I posted upthread.
