36. I don't think they were too surprised
"But they probably didn't think anybody would fight back."
I think they proly thought it was a possibility. Sounds like they planned for it atleast. It's not like they could just all run off and blend in to the crowd when it hit the fan. Granted I'm only going on short news articles, but it sounds like they were pretty organized.
Also sounds like they were long gone when the worst of the rioting occured.

Maybe they were scared, but I'd guess the law abiding residents of the neighborhood were even more so.
