I watched it live and was pretty underwhelmed the whole time. The coverage really didn’t capture the gravity of the violence imo. It just seemed like people lazily walking past barricates. I didn’t even realize that shit was going down until well into the day when there were reports of injuries.
It definitely depended on the feed, but there was some violent window smashing and screaming/yelling/trying to break down doors.
The news crews really weren’t set up for “action movie” style coverage with all the key points of interest. That’s part of why it didn’t “look” that bad. Like, if you look at most gas station robberies, they don’t look that bad either … because the angles aren’t dramatic, they don’t make you “feel” the moment.

I watched it online through Xitter and it was fucking wild!
