On the 14th of February, 1999. A group of angry individuals entered the Bamna7 Tv store and started an altercation, because a week earlier apparantly one of the employees promised that the store was organizing a 'free tv day'. But after the store opened in the morning of the 14th, they quickly found out it was all a ruse. Young mobs started looking for trouble and caused havoc in the store, later going down the street screaming and attempting to engage in a fistfight with multiple people looking at the situation unfold. A patrol car showed up but things quickly started to go south, with people now looting several other stores which most of them were Tv or other electrical appliance stores. | On the 14th of February, 1999.

Young rebellious people saw this as an oppertunity to create chaos, as they now started throwing items at police cars, and going as far as looting even non-tv or appliance stores. And repeatedly screaming 'Free tv's! | Young rebellious people saw this as an oppertunity to create chaos, as they now started throwing items at police cars, and going as far as looting even non-tv or appliance stores. And repeatedly screaming 'Free tv's! Free tv's! Get YOUR free tv's! | ||
