Trump decided to call out the National Guard in response to one car getting burned. That's something on the scale of a sports riot, not a collapse of law and order. You are making a mountain out of molehill, or falling for the manipulations of the people who are.
- Loughla 1y agoAll this trump nonsense aside - It's hilarious to me that we even have the cultural understanding of a sports riot, and it's assumed that it's just not that bad. Just people having a good time, burning up a car and smashing businesses to celebrate (mourn) their team's victory (defeat). Is that supposed to be funny? Because in a super dry sort of way it's hilarious as a concept.
- spacemadness 1y agoI guess it needs hundreds of marines, huh? You’re deflecting from the issue as so many others are here in bad faith.
- anigbrowl 1y agoSports riots following a big game are just not that unusual in developed countries (even in Japan from time to time!), and no, they are not that bad. They are minor transgressions that rarely involve serious injury or loss of life and it's foolish to treat them as existential crises.
