O'CLOCK TONIGHT:
PROTESTERS BEGAN TEARING
DOWN THE METAL BARRIERS LINED
ALONG THE OUTSIDE OF THE
BUILDING WHERE YIANNOPOLUS WAS
SCHEDULED TO SPEAK. A FEW PEOPLE
RUSHED TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE
BUILDING- ONE OF THEM ARMED WITH
A BASEBALL BAT.
ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER:
PROTESTERS BEGAN THROWING
FIRECRACKERS AT THE BUILDING.
SMOKE FILLED THE AIR AS THE
EXPLOSIVES BURNED ON THE GROUND.
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CHAOS:
THIS GENERATOR AND LIGHT POLE
WERE PUSHED OVER AND EVENTUALLY
CAUGHT ON FIRE...EXPLODING IN
FLAMES.
AFTER THAT FIRE DIED DOWN -- 40
MINUTES LATER:
PROTESTERS RUSHED TOWARDS THE
FRONT OF THE BUILDING... USING
METAL BARRIERS TO BREAK THROUGH
THE FRONT GLASS DOORS.
AND THEN FINALLY --

THEY WERE DRESSED IN RIOT GEAR
