We had major riots just down the street yesterday. Literally
thousands of people. There was a man not even a year ago that got caught with
something to the effect of 20 children bodies in his freezer. It is
said he was selling body parts to the witchdoctors. Anyway he got out
of jail (bribery?) and was back in business and there has been a series
of child snatching just recently. Yesterday they caught him and his
team trying to snatch kids at the school just down the street from us.
It turned into riots and mob justice really quick. One guy was burned
alive, one guy fled in his car and the police got there in time to save
the others. But when the police started protecting them from the
public mob, it got really wild. The people started attacking the
police. It was like a war zone here, just 200 meters down the street,
guns were being fired constantly for about a half hour then
intermittently for the rest of the day. They called the riot police,
the military, tear gas was all over every where and the rioting went
most of the day. One building where they put the guys to save them
from the crowd was torn up metal bar door bent, ripped off the hinges, brick
walls smashed and wood parts set on fire. I gather a few people were
shot. People were throwing logs and burning tires in the street
effectively shut down the road. A public transport bus got stoned.
When the people attacked the police they took the weapons from them
(AK-47's) and smashed them on the ground. The police then took the
guys down to the jail near the rail road tracks (about a mile away) and the rioting
continued all the way the entire area had tear gas. Myself, Heather
and a few of the kids eyes were bothering us. The people then started
attacking firing the police station and the riot police then came and
had like a hundred guys defending the station.

The guy that got away in the car came down our dirt road and a mob
followed the tracks. I was up on our fence watching the commotion that
I could see trying to see what this mob was up to. One guy yelled out
'the white is hiding him' they then all turned and were charging to
Kedesh. I jumped off the wall running yelled out to the boys to shut
the gate. We got there and shut the gate before the mob did. I then
invited the instigator to come in and look for this car we were
supposedly hiding. I asked him to point out the car tracks to me (we had a heavy rain yesterday so everything was still soft.) He just
pouted and ran off the other direction took the crowd with him. The
boys then told me that there was a crowd at our other gate. So when I
went over there the crowd saw me coming panicked and ran off. It was
pretty funny there was no gate there just the gateway and there was
nothing stopping them from coming in, and the panic when they saw me.
I know I'm a pretty crazy looking guy but not known for instilling
panic in people. I couldn't help but think of the verse 'how could one
set a thousand to flight unless the lord was with him' there wasn't a
thousand but maybe a hundred. But it was still pretty funny. The
rioting continued most of the day and we have heard that the public has
gone to this guys house and destroyed it.

Now a day later there is calm, but still a unit of police guarding the jail house where the guys are being held.
