No, seriously.
They were trouble-making malcontents. But was there anything appoximating five consecutive nights of actual and widespread rioting/looting provoking repeated police responses using tear gas and rubber bullets?
If there was, it never made the mainstream press. I do remember, vaguely, an occupy disturbance in Oakland that turned violent.
You were seriously not paying attention, then.
Five nights in Missouri compared to MONTHS of violence, rapes, private property damage, constant trespassing, attacks on police, requiring concussion grenades and tear gas on numerous occassions.
Please tell me you don’t have access to any media outlets.
