"She pointed to a 2011 punk rock concert where mostly white fans tried to tear down the chain link fence. Police sprayed pepper gas. No one said that was a riot, she said. "

IIRC, it WASN'T a riot. It was during the annual SXSW music fest. A venue hosting a popular music act was sold out. A chain-link fence had been erected behind the club, in the alley, as many of the neighboring clubs had done to prevent freeloaders from crashing the gigs. A bunch of freeloaders were in the act of climbing/pulling down the fence when the cops showed up. There were some arrests, pepper sprays, etc...

This was nowhere near the scale and damage that occurred outside of Highland Mall caused by a large number of feral black amish youths a couple days before Halloween. That "mall" is, for all intents and purposes, closed. A community college is re-developing that property for its administrative offices and a campus. The last few years the mall was open (after the annual Texas Relays - a track meet hosted by UT), the parking lot would become filled with a scene of feral amish gangbangers and their hoopties that became so intimidating, the mall would close early as white shoppers were keeping away for obvious reasons. Of course, this enraged the local press and race-baiters to no end.

I imagine Katie Friel is 19 or 20 years old and has no knowledge of much except how to sing kumbayah in several languages.
