As an outsider, yes, it looks crazy as hell over there, based on what can be seen in the media. It would be wrong of me to assume that's how everyone is, and I know that, yet it seems, due the media, many over there don't get it, and end up acting like the people they see in the media. If you're not at the protest, a horde of people might think you don't care... oh no! My status is at stake! I won't have friends if I don't act like my friends!
