Yikes. As our Tumblr buddy Josh Sternberg put this on Twitter, “[The violence is] not surprising when you look at the last couple of years in Italy. What is surprising is that there’s no violence elsewhere.” Don’t look at Occupy through this single lens. Evan Fleischer has been doing some great work at emphasizing the scale of the events, covering small pieces from around the world. Don’t start and end with Rome. That’s not the full picture.
