Sure did provoke a reaction. Locking the whole godforsaken city down with Nat'l Guard. I'd say they were afraid, but I'm constantly assured by ITGs that civilians pose no threat to the DC-based government.

The media dug up a word: insurrection. I've never heard that word used in the context of a political protest. Even the ones that actually overthrow governments, though I've heard synonyms. It's just weird that they found a 5 dollar word and decided to use it all of the sudden but only to apply to one specific incident.
