However, throughout Houston's speech, the crowd outside grew louder with an increasing number of people protesting about a variety of issues.

Suspects reportedly wore clothing and had ethnicities. Several held cardboard rectangles decorated with lettering.

If there were a bunch of people protesting a bunch of different things, it would be irresponsible to declare the supporters of any one particular issue to be the ones who did this.

'Which things motivated this?'

'You can't say it was one thing.'

Without knowing exactly who was involved - and that seems to be the case, so far - you can't say it was any of them, because you don't know. This shouldn't be hard to grasp.

There's a photo of people surrounding the car holding signs.

ok, they expanded it a bit now: However, throughout Houston's speech, the crowd outside grew louder with an increasing number of people protesting about a variety of issues, including the ability for Mi'kmaq to regulate their own cannabis sales, the province's plan to promote fracking and mining, and the need to observe treaty rights.
