They had some footage from the beginning of the "protest", where there were hundreds, not "thousands" of locals drinking and chanting, which became violent when some Arabs appeared. The mob was drunken and rowdy - pretty soon bottles were flying & people getting punched up.
There was some pretty frightening footage of two Lebanese guys in their 20s getting hammered in a train carriage at a station, until two cops went in, swinging batons to rescue them. I think the mob would have beaten them to death, watching the footage...
I felt sick watching our flag being waved while it was going on.
