You missed the point.
You said:
"everyone else says more like 100"
I said:
"If I read correctly, one person says 50-100 and that was inside the fair. He was outside the fair in his car."
But I guess you committed to hyperbole twice. One person is not "everyone else".

And I said go back and read the article...everyone else did say that. (including someone outside the fair.) It's not hyperbole to quote the article. It is to turn a riot into a race war.
LOL at the appeared to be attempted murder and comparing this to a lynching. So is it Iraq or a lynching. Riots can be scary. Attempted murder is a legal term. Assault may be a little more befitting. Let the DA do the grandstanding.
