I'm also not saying horrible things didn't happen. All I know is, I was in the thick of it and the only questionable thing I saw were the fires, which the fire marshal told us from the stage not to worry about. I saw lots of vendors giving stuff away at the end, which maybe looked kind of dubious on camera, but nobody was taking or extorting anything from them.
Just a few years back, I read "That Hideous Strength" and the whole part about the riot reporting in there resonated with a few experiences I've had, but this was the first one like that. It's a terrifying book if you're ever looking to experience a different side of C.S. Lewis's writing.
