What was meant to be a peaceful protest outside the police station for justice has since evolved into disorder and riotous violence‚ caused mostly by foolish teenagers and young adults.

Jack London once said‚ “The proper function of man is to live‚ not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
