That covers most of it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

The trigger for the events was when two youngsters were killed inside an electrical transformer plant, supposedly while fleeing from the police.

What did they expect from several hundred kilovolts??
What bothers me the most is the reaction of the public. If those guys were running from the police, they must have comitted a crime, right ? So when they chose to hide in an elictrical transformer plant, in all their wisdom, and got electrocuted, one can hardly blame the police for doing their duty, which is chasing down guys who have comitted a crime, right ? Well, these fine people obviously think otherwise, and regard the police as the criminals here. A very logical way of thinking...if you're a Klingon.
