LOL

50-100?

There were 200 arrests.

Check out the videos that are widely available online. There were 50-100 "troublemakers" in each of those videos.


Love how you try to make us look like the ones who aren't acknowledging the reality of the situation.

No, I just have my dates wrong. There were 35 arrests this weekend. I saw the web site said the 28th but the article's byline is the 27th. The new story indicates there were 202 arrests. Still, you tell me which group was larger: the thugs who caused the trouble, or the protesters who remained peaceful?

I'm not sure where the 10k or 50-100 numbers came from, but both seem to be off.

Pretty productive 50-100 as they set 15 buildings on fire, looted several times that many businesses, set over 100 cars on fire and got arrested at least twice each.

What possible difference does that make?

The riots get the most attention because they're the "better" news story. Nobody is going to stay glued to a new channel for peaceful protests.

10,000 people walking down the street peacefully makes a lousy visual for the media. A building set on fire by a few thugs makes a great visual - and it will last for hours between the actual burning and the endless looping you can do. And that's the story you send out to the millions watching on TV...
