“I was there for the dance party, I didn’t even know they would be breaking windows. A friend and I stood in front of a smashed window and you could hear the glass crackle. There were cops everywhere. It was scary.”

“It was dumb, I don’t see how that could help anything. I think if they want to combat the idea that immigrants are criminals then they shouldn’t be doing illegal things in the street.”

“I think that breaking windows wasn’t necessarily bad, but they shouldn’t have targeted local mom and pop shops when there is a Gap and a Borders across the street.”
