- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> Ukrainians didn't leave, and they ended up taking their country back I'm struggling to remember any rioting in the Maidan.
- int_19h 2y agoI mean, they have literally built a catapult on Maidan to throw molotov cocktails at the police. And used said molotovs to set fire to an APC.

And used said molotovs to set fire to an APC I guess I wouldn't characterise such focussed use of violence as "starting to get a bit rowdy." Rowdiness specifically implies unruliness, a lack of discipline. I'd also say that escalating from peaceful to violent protest is not a decision one should take in the moment--catapults and molotov cocktails imply preparation.
