I blame the media, the police and the justice system for the situation. Placing undue attention, sensationalizing the whole thing, releasing the verdict late at night, leaving a police car unprotected right near the protesters, surrounding peaceful protesters while not arresting violent offenders exacerbated what should not have happened. It got so out of hand and it shouldn't have, I know many of you are blaming the violent offenders and stupid protesters but the government has to take some accountability for its negligent at best response to the situation. The whole thing was treated like entertainment and there should be no surprise people over reacted.
