This article shows a negative representation of young people. It discusses the Brooklyn Riot which involved 100 teenagers, 16 years of age, rioting after a 16 year old was shot dead.
The use of language to create a negative representation is straight away used from the word 'chaos'. This word shows what these riots were like and what these teenagers caused, making the audience & readers not like these teenagers, creating a negative representation.
Something else used was 'sounds like a war zone' this emphasises how bad these riots were, once again creating a negative representation of youth.
To counteract this, 'peaceful protest' was used to show that even though it wasn't going to be violent protest and was going to be fair, and teenagers still created chaos by rioting.
