I was in downtown Silver Spring tonight, celebrating efbq's recent birthday and the birthday of another good friend of mine from the Green Party.

We did a bit of digging on getting home: what we saw was apparently the aftermath of fights and rioting that happened during - wait for it - a youth-organized "Stop the Violence" concert.
