Riots

1. Don't announce verdict at nightfall.
2. Curfew - 9pm-6am.
3. Enforce above.
4. Enforce the fricking law.

The problem could have been solved easily by doing what the judicial system normally does VERY well: Procrastination.

Gov't: "Ok guys, we're going to announce the verdict tomorrow."
Angry mob: "You better be giving him the death penalty or we're rioting! Who cares about the facts! We even drove in from out of state to riot!"

The next day....

Gov't: "Ok guys, the decision has been delayed for 3 weeks. Sorry!"
Angry mob: "Wtf mate? We even drove in from out of state for this, you just wasted our money on gas and hotels!"
Gov't: "We didn't make you do that..."

Three weeks later the government can just do the same thing all over again. Rinse, repeat until the angry mob gets tired of driving in from out of town, wasting their money and time. Problem solved.

Meanwhile an innocent man's life is on hold and he is in hiding because they wont announce his innocence.

Can't they give out a few thousand tickets for jay walking. Disturbing the peace may work as well. Hit them where it hurts. Their wallet. A couple aggravated assault charges for those throwing rocks at police officers too. I would up hold every single law to the tee. And once they realize that they can't block traffic. And throw things at officers and start knocking over cars etc. They will either be peaceful or be on their way.

Yep that's the one. That was a tongue in cheek comment, I think shooting down rioters in the street is different. They are beyond innocent. Any one who is there after a fair warning deserves what they get.

Looks like they just fan up the flames wherever they are instead of coming back to town.

Give them a ticket? Really? OK you go and do it.

I just re-read this thread. Some of these suggestions are ridiculous.

I think he's still going to have to go into hiding regardless of the verdict.

But yeah, they could come to a decision and put it into effect without actually publicly announcing it yet. That takes care of the on-hold part of it as well.

It would also help to identify the instigators and remove them ASAP. Better to defend a lawsuit than to rebuild your city after you failed to take charge of the situation.

My thought from day 1, was that the Fire Department should have misted down the crowd. The air temperature the first night was ~28ºF. Wet people in those temperatures quickly loose their will to riot, and begin seeking warmth. Then hose down the streets.

Let them riot on ice.

We could sell tickets.

Book them in the Saenger Theater.

I'd pay big bucks to see Riots on Ice.

Yea, thats not really how it went down.

Bayoushooter never ceases to amaze me with random comments regarding "what should happen".

Could we please make a thread to introduce the "kill everyone in the streets" group to the "the militarized policeman kicked my door in and raped my dog over a joint" group?

I'll provide the popcorn.
