O_O Walk into this thread a few weeks later and BAM.
Seriously, that is MESSED UP! I'm not a fan of sports, but the days when I would suggest that sports = evil are long gone, now they merely bore me. This is entirely the fault of these people. What exactly could lead a person to become SO obsessed with a frickin GAME that they would go on a rampage? They would have to be in such a position in their life that the only thing that gives them the smallest glimmer of joy is the vicarious thrill of watching other people accomplish THEIR dreams in life that are related to them merely by the proximity of their base of operations to their own house, and the thought of them losing destroys that last sliver of happiness that was holding them in check, only AN ENTIRE TOWN was like this. Pathetic... Note that of course the whole town obviously wasn't that way, so the tragedy is for those that are completely innocent of the whole affair. If the whole town really WAS the entire rioting force, I wouldn't really feel all that bad for them for having destroyed their OWN stuff.
What idiots. Don't they have anything better to do with their lives?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
