srsly CA, wtf is wrong with you?
yep, wave your flags for riot sympathy, we KNOW it's just a stupid stunt. I've heard enough from you lot pre-game to know this. you planned it, you... there's no english word for this.
yep, riots are scary, horrible, zomg we're not all like this etc etc etc.
you planned this. you let this happen. just like '95.
this wasn't a reaction to losing the cup, the game was an excuse for this great publicity stunt. Lookitme ma! I was in a riot! I was there! and the tourists. jeez =_= everyone's a paparazzi here hah. everyone's trying to be a celebrity.
and the media, it's all "well, we're not like this" and "mob mentality", all apologist... this is what's wrong. you apologise for their bad behaviour instead of publicly condemn them. you arrest them, but nothing truly serious happens (except for the guy who was on the olympics team, sux to be him now). All the attention is focused on "chin up everyone, we're better than that, oh look at our wonderful community effort" not to condemn the community effort or make light of the people who're upset about it, but the focus is all wrong. sweeping it under the carpet isn't going to get people to stop the next time world attention is focused here. you NEED public ridicule. You need to pull them up on TV and go "dude what were you thinking?" and shame them so the kids after them don't get to thinking "heheh that's gonna be so cool on youtube".
bleh.
