    "Good Heavens"

    But to be very, very honest, I'm not sure I can be shocked about this kind of thing anymore when I hear about it in this context. You mean they arrested innocent middle class white people (and then let them go)? Good heavens!

    -- omooex

    Some have been arrested and are being held. They'll likely continue to be held until at least Tuesday when a judge is available. I don't know if any or all of them are middle class. And I don't know if all of them are "White".
