Wolf Blitzer kept saying it was "disturbing", and I kept watching and thinking "Well, I can't even really tell what's going on, but it sort of just looks like people running around. I certainly can't follow the narrative enough to be 'disturbed'". Maybe we should show them the Rodney King video and the subsequent rioting and see what they say about it: "Is this some sort of festival or something? What are all those people DOING?! What is going ON there?! Americans are weird..." I watched the cnn footage on this for a while the other day.
