As some suggest, those in the neighborhood, and the gang bangers were just so angry at those 15 weirdos, they just couldn't help themselves. They went into an uncontrollable trance that forced them to loot and burn private property. It's not really their fault.
This is how Blade 'columnist' Roberta De Boer spun it today:
"To more than a few people who live in that neighborhood, yesterday was the day their city's police protected Nazis, but used tear gas to keep residents off their own streets."
And people actually wonder why I despise that newspaper & its owner.
