I have read heartbreaking stories of Libyans who had taken Tawergha into their families, treating them as brothers and sisters. When the revolution started, the Tawergha turned on them, burned their stores, killed and raped their former host families. That is what enraged some Misratans. I do not believe in revenge - but there are always those in the group of people who do.
