"Clearance sale due to looting, winter and summer (clothes). We're leaving"





<<< President fleeing on helicopter



or just look the video, it's of 30 minutes, but there's a lot of shooting and stuff, so you may want to see it (though it covers all the riots, not only the Dec 20)

No, I was 11 or 12 years old at that time. But I remember a lot of things from that time, I also remember the stuff that you can see on the images/video as it was on the TV all day long.

I also remember that one day my father sent my sister and I had to go to a neighbor's (his sons were my friends) house (next to my house) while he electrified our house fences/windows/etc and armed himself. While my friend's father was preparing his weapons also, as there were rumours that sackings may occur on my town as it happened on neighbouring towns. As far as I know, nothing happened.

Damn all they did in the riots here was throw paint on the state university walls and destroy the outside gates.
