About the best we could do was warn others, hey, cool it on cause!  And take the flak for being "sell outs".  This after a girl got her nose broken defending the right to have generic cause.  Whatever else had been communicated, the message of no violence was no match for peoples' pent up passions.  And it was proving futile to "have boundaries".  People with "ins" at city media places and academic institutions scurried to get the word out.  Something about civility does not "resonate" with these people.  They are "acting out" on their grievances. 

  "I wonder if it's the video games?"  A woman in a Jesus Loves You sweatshirt bloodied by the broken nose asked out loud.
