Windy memorial passes without (much) incident

The Windscorpion memorial has passed at DDS City without too much incident. There were 3 small riots at DDS City and the nearby Hexian City. Sixteen people (all young males) were reported to be savagely beaten and there were 14 rapes, which were less than the ISSF estimated beforehand.

Firefly led the service in the main hall at DDS City and there were also statements from Salamander, Truman, Sea Urchin and Knobhead. In one potentially dangerous incident Consul El Diablo of the Dino Republic was loudly booed and jeered when he appeared on large screens outside the hall to convey the service to the thousands assembled outside. However ISSF and DDS Territorial Force troops maintained order.

Firefly has said that the period of mourning will continue tomorrow but that the DDS should return to normal by the weekend. The alert level has been reduced to AMBER, which is still fairly high but the DDS do not think any major incidents are now likely.
