This degenerated into more widespread discontent and there were a few reports of gunfire here and there.

It’s not all beer and skittles in the Islamic Republic. (Only kidding, I know beer is forbidden, even though–was it Kipling who said it?–beer proves the existence of God. Come to think of it, skittles is probably forbidden as well, along with all other forms of fun).
