- throwawayq3423 9mo agoConsidering Americans get shot during riots, I would say you're wrong.
- hansvm 9mo agoEven the Rodney King riots didn't have as many deaths (gunshots or otherwise) as the worst EU football events. Guns are scary or whatever, and the US should definitely handle them better or ban them or something, but I still think I'd rather take my chances in an average US riot (give or take recent ICE murders) than something heated in the EU.
- throwawayq3423 9mo ago> Even the Rodney King riots didn't have as many deaths (gunshots or otherwise) as the worst EU football events. I honestly don't even know what you're referring to. There have been tragedies related collapses of stadiums and trampling due to poor crowd control. But that is not even remotely similar to what we're talking about.
