I feel for their loss, but why does it have to involve throwing rocks and being violent.
The prime minister resigned. I would hope those more directly involved with the storage and retention of the confiscated cache would also be held responsible.
However, I don't understand why you have to hurt others when so many have been hurt already? What are they hoping to accomplish besides injuring more people?

I agree with you, but at least the people of Beirut have a legitimate reason to be angry at their government. Over here, people are rioting because . . . I don't know, some free-floating anger that's tangentially related to some criminal getting killed, and "systemic racism."
