It's not like they are rational to begin with. The idiocy of the mob
mentality trumps accurate information every time.  Facts and truth are
swept away by lies, misinformation and emotion. For instance, last night
I was watching the live coverage when a woman in some kind of medical
stress was brought to the police lines. The police opened up to let them
threw. The cops had fired some gas into the crow. Then, according to the
reported, the gas canisters were being thrown back by the
protesters/rioters.   The news team relocated and then some woman came
over jabbering to them about how the cops had thrown tear gas at a sick
woman

  It is a tragic situation in many ways.  The kid was the author of his
own misfortune. This is not a fight worth fighting.
