You can tell what age people are by how "shocked" and worried they are about pictures like this.

The only thing I was worried about was the lack of law and order in those first couple of nights. That really let it spread into other parts of America.

I lived through many riots were I live. Many of them. Weeks at a time long ago. Applying law and order is key and if certain areas fuck that up it will go on for weeks.

But what I see here is the line is holding and non-lethal force is being applied in the form of tear gas.

I don’t think it’s objective to say that you can tell what age someone is that way. Sure, you can tell how wise they are, and sure, wisdom and age are correlated, but some very young people would certainly assess the situation correctly.
