Others, some mere children, are simply exhilarated at the chance to throw rocks at authority: before the violence started, many were singing and dancing in the streets."We're having some fun here, aren't we?" one shouted to me as he hurled brick after brick. Perhaps. But people are dying, and neither Bogriganal or I see anyone with a plan that will stop...
