Note my comment about the media in my first post. As I see it, this is the sort of thing that does causes flashes because you have on one hand that small group of protesters that are are just always looking for a reason to get violent. Then on the other hand, you have the media hyping up the fact that such people are on the protest. So, in the end the violent types almost feel as if they don't 'bring it' they are backing down in the heat and the media feel like they have wasted coverage if something doesn't kick off.
