Actually, bob, I tend to agree with yoou about previous incidents, but I think 2010 was a cynical plan to take advantage of the legacy of those incidents. The difference between the 2009 protests and what happened in 2010 are very telling.
If it benefited who you claim, why did they not do so in 2009 under exact same circumstances? Is not the only difference between 2009 and 2010 the presence of the armed element within the UDD?
Why did Veera, the person who called off the 2009 protest in which nobody was killed, leave the 2010 protest before the outbreak of the major violence from May 14th to the 19th?
