I agree with you, especially about the stupidity of people. But its everywhere.

However, I also would have to question the motives of the person who posted this on her LJ as she used the term "tear-gassed" but clearly in the article it says "chemical irratant" That could be anything! No where in the article does it say tear gas. I'm not trying to belittle what happened, but its things like this where people don't have all the facts and they blow things out of proportion. I still don't agree with what happened, but let's not go overboard and be overly emotional when dealing with circumstances like this. Its reactionary words and actions which just add fuel to this already growing fire.
