dude THERE WAS NO RIOT!

how many times do we have to say it? there were a couple hundred people standing in the streets basically peaceably celebrating a historic moment, and certainly not doing anything rowdier than what was happening in any other neighborhood... and then the riot police rolled in.

just because there were cops in riot gear beating people up doesn't make it a riot.
