  • On the evening or April 26, 2007, Roving bands of youthin Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, ransacked autos, storefronts, and other buildings. The next day the city remained tense, and violence erupted again that evening, despite the presence of a large contingent of riot police. By the time these two days of civil unrest were over, 1 young man had been killed, 100 people, including 13 police officers had been injured, and nearly 1,000 people had been arrested. These developments came as a shock, both to this very orderly and lawgoverned county and to the outside world.
