[edit] Failure to observe NPOV ; weaseliness
Today I was reading this article simply because I had never heard of its subject until seeing a link somewhere else in Wikipedia. I was struck by the wording that "Whether because the SLF was still a young organization or because the turnout was much higher than expected, the demonstration quickly got out of hand..."
What if the SLF organizers as a group, or perhaps an agent provocateur within the SLF, wanted the demonstration to proceed just as it did?! These possibilities are not mentioned. I have no knowledge of what actually happened, nor even of what competing views about responsibility/causation may have been offered at the time of the demonstration or trial -- but I am pretty sure that few readers would suppose that there were only two possible causes for the course of events at the demonstration, and I believe that the current wording effectively weasels the SLF organizers out of perceived full responsibility for the crimes that were committed.
