In Response To: Did you say Danish?? (EBW)

On CNN yesterday there was a video showing Muslims "rioting" in India.

All you could see was some people being drenched by a water cannon.

Because of the depth of field and the normally crowded streets of India, you have the impression that there are thousands of "rioters".

Also the dubbed in soundtrack sounds like a huge crowd.

But then at one point the presentator states that there are "dozens of demonstrators".

In fact there were only about 40 or 50 people and they were not rioting, just demonstrating noisily. Then they got squirted by a water cannon for the photo op.
