UK Riots

[DJD]

Act like you've been there before.

The problem I see with any team or fans that try to speak for the masses or have an idea of what the fan base does or should do is that they don't really know, do they?
Times change, people change and society dictates what is going to be acceptable and from the looks of the things that are deemed acceptable anymore things are going in the toilet fast. Times change and thats why folks say....well I remember when....

I'm not sure how new any of this is (see above).

As for the players, I would say that the NFL and MLB are actually less violent than they used to be. Ty Cobb used to sharpen his spikes and slide feet up in the air. Not too long ago, MLB pitchers believed they owned the inside part of the plate and as long as they didn't kill anyone hitters who crowded the plate were fair game. And we've all heard the stories about legal clotheslines in the NFL and what used to happen in dogpiles.

I don't understand how any sane person would allow themselves to get caught up in that kind of frenzy. What do they hope to accomplish from such sub-human behavior? Do the go around patting themselves on the back the next day after they've had time to think about it?

Judging from the Twitter feeds I've seen from college kids I know: yes they do, and they are bragging about how they are going to do the same tonight despite the Po-Po.

Man if they do I hope they really get these kids by the short hairs and pull them one by one. Sure would be nice to see Lexington cleaned up by college kids doing community service foe a few weeks during the Summer.

I'm hearing of a shooting last night downtown and a UL fan was involved? It was the last end of a tv segment so I'm not sure of the details. I'll have to look this up! Anyone else see or hear of this?
So with all the warnings and requests not to get stupid the crowds did anyway. Geez I guess young and dumb and full of Booze can't be reasoned with. Oh well.....it's over now. Time to pay the piper!

I think it was WKYT and they said a UL fan was shot in a car but who knows. I haven't had a chance to get on my puter at work to search for an article yet.

Reading the news today, it seems fans set fire to the UK library and it was total destruction. Both books were lost and one of them hadn't even been colored in yet!
