I first understood that maybe 15 years ago, when I was in the UK during the supposed mass riots there. My parents read about that in the media (European public service broadcast news) about the anarchic circumstances and were worried about me.

I was in one of the cities hit hardest, according to the media, and my flat was actually right at the location this was about.

All that really happened was a single demonstration that was mostly peaceful without any vandalism. That's it.
