Sadly over my lifetime I have witnessed uprising, looting, bombing, protesters brandishing panga's (machetes) and sticks. Crowds can start out peaceful and end up rampaging in no time at all.
Sporadic outbursts happen when one person steps out of line, especially when it is an individual who is paid to look after citizens.
Our world is over populated, too many injustices done to some, everyone has a breaking point (always play devils advocate). Life is confusing and frustrating enough without bullies hurting people for no apparent reason.
Well said! When a crowd gets together... sometimes all it takes is on person to say one thing and it can spar negativity.
Criminal element always know when to switch mood!
