Compared to other countries (none / 0)

I'm sorry, but this all seems pretty mild compared to what you see on the streets of Paris on a regular basis. maybe the word "riots" when applied to French demonstrations has been so trivialised that it fails to provide the necessary gradation between variout violent events.

But in Paris, the (very efficient) street cleaning staff are right behind the riot police...

Re: Compared to other countries (none / 0)

Incidentally, the French 'riots' were among the comparisons, e.g. thousands of participants. (How many policemen were treated in hospital during the heat-up last year, BTW?) Also the yearly trouble with punk gatherings in Berlin.
