It gets tiring after a while that this kind of thing is our new normal. My first gut reaction: Enough.
So, here's the deal: I propose we use social media to find the morons responsible and bring them to the attention of the cops. I'll use this entry as a central data store for tips and related date points.
I'm tweeting here, and my Facebook page is here.
Your turn: Know anyone - or anything about - last night's riot? Have a piece of information to share that could lead to forcing those responsible to face the music? Leave whatever you've got in a comment.
More soon...

Riots have been around since the beginning of time... Its behavior seems to get recognized and seems to wake up whoever its intended for... I agree social media should play a part in whoever has instigated the riot. As we get older, I think our tollerance for this behavior does 'get old' w/us... Kinda reminds me of when a kid has a tantrum but on a bigger level..
Every Fanshawe student registered as living on Fleming Dr. needs to be suspended. Maybe then they will understand the consequences of "just watching" when a police order to "return to your home, this is an unlawful assembly" is disobeyed. That is just as true for the so-called "Intern for the METRO NEWS" and all the others seen in the videos of the event. He was NOT a "reporter" he was a participant in an "unlawful assembly" METRO NEWS, do not reward this immature intern for his criminal behaviour. This city is sick of these immature brats.
