You don't get it. The stabbing isn't the story; the riot is. The stabbing is just the most serious result of the riot. If someone had been beaten to death in the riot, no one would have remarked on the stabbing. If no one had been stabbed, then the fires would have been the headline. Or the bricks being hurled. Or something. A thousand people brawling in the street is a story.
