They were burning tyres

Some time ago there was a big fire in our city. It was connected with a demonstration of miners. They were unsatisfied of their payments and they wanted rises. At the beginning they were just screaming and singing. They were also trying to force the government representatives to talk with them. But when nobody came to them they started to demolish the centre of the city. They threw stones and bottles and they vandalized many shops and houses all around the city main square. The police tried to stop them but they were outnumbered by the miners. Then the miners took some tyres and they started to put them on fire. Black cloud of smoke covered almost the whole sky above the city. It was a picture like from hell. They had many tyres and they started to put them all on fire. Because of those burning tyres few houses were also on fire and a big fire started. Fire brigades started to fight with the fire and the police finally started to take control over the crowd. It was something horrible seeing those people who were trying to get higher payments by destroying their own city. They were acting like animals and they almost burned a half of a city. I can understand demonstrations as long as they are peaceful. Strength is not always the best way of solving problems.
