Alleged video of the incident appeared to show students running through and jumping in hallways.

that's a very tame riot...

Riot is used twice in the article. Once in a quote and the other time it's called an "alleged riot" ostensibly referring back to the quote

“Storm” is in the title. They make it seem like a violent mob when 90% of it was little more than a school walkout.

Naw. Most of these kids are just kids using an excuse to skip class and dance in the hall.

I didn't see any mention of dancing in the article. Where did you see that?

It didn’t. It had a link to a video where they were kinda sorta dancing.

I genuinely wonder how much of it was "rioting" because of the thing and how much was this being a good excuse to skip out on lessons, cause I've been a shithead teenager before and know they aren't exactly the most socially conscious.
