Can I relate what happened to me today? Maybe it will put some perspective on things. This afternoon I was in central town walking back from a client's office. At the same time a protest march was going on. At first things looked peaceful but I was nearly two street away, when I started to hear gun shots. Then I saw people running towards me. Thankfully they quickly clamed down when they realised they were a bit away from the shooting else it could have been pandemonium. I wasn't in any immediate danger but I still had to walk another 15 minutes to my office, all to the sounds of gun shots going off in the background. I couldn't call anyone to pick me up because the roads were closed and I wasn't sure exactly what was going on and that march could easily at any moment turned into a riot. And to top it all of it started to rain. Thankfully, I later learnt that it was just the police shooting rubber bullets to disperse the crowds but I was pretty shaken up when I got back to my office.
