The revolution will be televised.
For the last couple of hours before day break, Liberation Square has been packed full of people chucking molotov cocktails at each other, with raging gunfire the entire time. This was live.

It's not like people are going home at night, then coming out and having a peaceful protest for an hour or two before work. It's pretty intense right now.
