San Antonio protest march was successful because of how it was organized. Everyone understood the protocol. But then these idiot kids decided to riot TWO hours after it was over destroying downtown. Disappointing.

The mayor is saying the same thing as this twitter post.

A reporter was just tear gassed. And San Antonio never has this kind of stuff. We usually just get those gun nuts at the Alamo etc and everyone just stays away from them.
