Not rioters - PROTESTERS...

And, peaceful protesters, standing up to a fascist dictator.

Call emillio before the order ships if you get one, and have him open it up to confirm its got all the right parts. Skunk has been packaging them wrong sometimes. I bought an NB one, it came with the NB throttle body, instructions, and gaskets, but the NA kit of parts.
