As tensions mount around the metro area, Mayor Stokes has pleaded for cooler heads to prevail. City services have been affected, and some businesses have decided to remain closed amid the unrest. Chuck Stevens filed this report. The anger and resentment that's been building in the city for weeks seems close to exploding. Protesters, many dressed as clowns, took to the streets today in one of several planned demonstrations taking on the city's elite, including a massive rally outside tomorrow night's benefit at Wayne Hall. What's the point of all this? - the rich. - Thomas Wayne. That's what this whole thing is about. the whole system. Wayne, who recently announced he is running for mayor, will be attending the benefit. You might remember it was Thomas Wayne who first referred to many of Gotham's residents as "clowns." Today, he offered little in the way of an apology. Well, what I will say is, there's something wrong with those people. I am here to help them. I'm gonna lift them out of poverty, help make their lives better. That is why I'm running. And they may not realize it, but I'm their only hope.
