What if they gave a riot and no one reported on it? I just read about this riot, which originally was s'posed to be a protest about police brutality.
The windows are still boarded up, the car windshields are still smashed in, and the tempers are still boiling over.
One week after the May Day riots left Broadway Auto Row in Oakland an avenue of broken glass and dented metal, the proprietors who are still wondering why they were targeted are still awaiting some help from somebody.
The city held a meeting Thursday and offered vague promises of low-interest loans. But to Erich Horat, the owner of the Precision Motors repair shop, that means he still has to pay for something he didn’t do and something Oakland police didn’t prevent.

Let me guess: when Horat decides "screw this" and closes his facility permanently, the city will blame him and the rioters will threaten more mayhem if he doesn't re-open. |
