Many of those arrested were apparently not from the area. Isn't that what they used to say in the South during the Civil Rights movement in the 60's?

(82,383 posts)It's not like some outside organization planned the whole thing, which never would have occurred to the local people at all - they are too docile to react on their own? And merely being from other cities does not prove those people are the ones that planned and instigated the local people.
One of their young people was shot, but they are not going to protest. Only when people from other cities come do they think of that. Absurd.
