Perhaps the guide of hers was too tensed to explain this in English to the tourists who were all quite shocked, confused, and scared; slipped the guide's mind.

I have NEVER encountered anything worse than a few trucks playing loud slogans or patriotic songs from war time. No gatherings or actual hostilities. Most people just ignore the trucks and consider them incredibly annoying and obnoxious.
