re: #28 drcordell

Right. That all makes sense. I just can’t wrap my head around how they possibly thought that this would turn out well. If you gave me a photocopy of this plan the night before it happened, I could have predicted this result almost to a T.

Yeah, that one I’m kind of at a loss with as well.

On the other hand, how many options did they really have.

It would be nice if all the ‘peace activists’ of the world could be talked out of violent confrontations, but in reality violence occurs. They went aboard expecting to use riot-control mechanisms, NOT violent force.

Violence only started after the soldiers were attacked.
