This is a hive mind in operation and the only way to deter a hive is to disrupt its means of communication. Also media should stop interviewing and given airtime to these hoodlums. Any media being caught doing this should be removed from the locations, temp confiscation of there equipment and fined. This goes against all the things i would normally be opposed to but the situtation calls for it.
This is a hive out of control. But I am surprised by some of the sugestion given here about shooting people etc. Property and materials can be replaced, rebuilt but people can not be brought back once they are gone. Violence only begets violence, and will only detriote the situation more. Think what happens when you disturb a bee hive or a wasps nest. You need to go after the people that are orchestrating this and name and shame them.
What is requires is some calm and cool use of intelegence.

No one would advocate what some of these fools are getting up to, but if you really look at what's happening here, it's a case of people becoming fed up with the way the political and social system is going. People are responsible for their own actions and thoughts, but they're also a product of their upbringing and socialisation. No matter how independent of thought a person might be, they don't grow up in isolation from the society into which they're born. If that society is sick, as ours is, then you can expect some people to react in ways which may not be conducive to what are the social norms. Sickness breeds sickness. However, it's how we approach our own reactions to this which dictates how we do react. Some lash out, others don't. But given dire situations, most people will jack up and demand something is done. It's just a pity that those with criminal intent take advantage of this and hijack what would otherwise be legitimate protest.
on the subject, so what happened.
