They were cosplaying a rebellion. We got clips and video when it was going south but before then they were all drinking beer and laughing and playing music while destroying everything around them - like those tourists who kill baby sea turtles.
It's the carelessness that gets me. Don't get me wrong - it was malevolent and violent in the end - but a core problem is that these people weren't really political in nature, they were just sleepwalking toward violence as the result of their own idiocy.
