There's so much disinformation out right there that unless someone trustworthy was directly involved and tells you what they personally witnessed, you can't trust any news sources.  For instance, a friend of some family neighbors was in DC on the 6th and says everything was quiet until a bunch of buses arrived and new people arrived and started riling things up, but I have no way of verifying that what they say is accurate, just that I KNOW I can't trust what the mainstream media is putting out.
