Butterfly effect

When a certain pastor's convictions took him down a path of unwise decisions, I think the media and attention got to him and he decided to burn a certain book regardless of the consequences.  Now a world away I'm seeing the results (consequences) of his actions.  There is a city within view of where I am and the protests and violence have gotten out of hand.  For several days there have been fires burning in the city and all kinds of activity.  I can say that the reaction is more of an excuse for trouble rather than a genuine protest based on beliefs.  The job of the forces here has gotten a lot harder and this place is much more dangerous now.  I'm glad I am on my way out of here and soon.
