I'm going to take a wild guess. The "rioters" were paid agitators, similar to what was used in the ME to create the appearance of large scale dangerous violent outrage over how the Holy Prophet was depicted in a RW racist movie. It coincided with the murder of Amb Stevens and his team WHILE they were in a CIA safehouse. The problem with the infiltration of the agitators is that they can use the images to gin up white fear followed by white anger and resulting in whute violence. Give the media about 10 days. At that time, you can expect a story, more like a footnote thatthe agitators were hired and paid for by some KKKoch-funded political group.
