Military History?

I am not sure if this falls under Military History. The Military was called in for riot control but it fails to be of historical note for the military. Big Roger (talk) 09:14, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why did the jury act the way they did?

Thanks. Imagine Reason (talk) 02:34, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The rioters thought it was because the jury had been bribed - they had accepted payment for giving the verdict. That is the most likely explanation. Aymatth2 (talk) 12:20, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
