And WHEN did they riot? According to YOUR reference, it was just after they qualified for the freaking World Cup. It wasn't about "war on Christianity" or "let's go kill infidels", but because of freaking SPORTS.

But wait, you say, REAL Americans would NEVER do that! Right? Right????

Here's a list of ten post-Super-Bowl riots by fans of the winners and losers.

But I get it - if it involves Muslims, then it's zimmer's patriotic duty to try to show all the world how it's all about Islam, that it's impossible that "real Americans" would ever do the same thing in the same situation....

The vid ran perfectly on my IPad Pro.

I didn’t even have to open the link to know the warning was appropriate. The reason for this particular demonstration is immaterial.


Edit...I’ll quickly add that the Muslim part had little if anything to do with it to me.

Read the entire article.

You know... from left to right and top to bottom.

You have an issue with the news posted I see. That’s your problem son.

Frankly... I cannot recall patriotic Americans rioting during a Christmas market or running over people in cars at a Christmas Market, or being instructed by even the most twisted Christian leader to do so.

Perhaps you can correct me... but I don’t recall it.

I have dial up and viewed a small portion.
Still this is something to look out for while shopping at any time.

Yes, the hooligans will beat each other up, and even kill each other... as the Juventus-Liverpool massacre illustrated in 1985.

It’s not normal though.

Glen C won’t like what’s being reported in the Muslim hotbeds of south Sweden.

So, Americans never riot? That's your position?

And what you don't get is that people in a riot don't care - that's why they call it "mob mentality", wherein people do things that they would NEVER otherwise do. I've felt it and seen it for myself - and afterwards I was horrified and mortified to think that I would do such a thing. You don't think we would do it? Try holding a super bowl on December 24th and watch what happens.

"Mob mentality", sir, affects ALL humans, regardless of religion. There's many, MANY examples of it in American history, from the lynchings to the race riots (pro and con) back in the 1960's...to the crap that happened a few months ago in Charlottesville. The guy that ran over the woman - do you think that he went there wanting to kill someone? Of course not! Then there's the old man who punched a girl who was peacefully protesting at a Trump rally - do you think that old man was the type to just punch women? Possibly...but highly unlikely...and it was the mob mentality that got to him. That's what happens with mob mentality - people do things they would NEVER otherwise do.

And all your article was, was a video and a bunch of bias-confirmation tweets and FB posts. Not exactly what one would call "responsible journalism".

I can tell you with 100% certainty I’d never do it.

No it doesn’t, and I am living proof. A shining example of clear thinking and standing up for what is right, despite what the mob is doing or how it is misbehaving.

This also works wonderfully when purchasing stocks. You must keep your head, when others are losing theirs, and decide not to follow the idiocies of others.

I do agree, the herd mentality, the mob mentality, the Stanford Guard experiment mentality, the mentality of succumbing to superiors who ask/tell you to do stupid, even evil things... does happen, but if you have character, you’re not going to succumb to these serious psychological influences and character flaws.

Responsible journalism would be for the major networks to report these problems, especially in Brussels, the home of the EU.

Are you human? Yes? Have you ALWAYS thought clearly? No? Then yes, given the right circumstances, you would do it, too. Try to find a culture that has never done so - good luck with that! But yes, if you are in a crowd of like-minded people, and if your passions are up for a particular reason, then yes, it very much can happen to you. Anyone who claims otherwise is either woefully naive and ignorant...or lying.

Ah, here we ago with the "I wouldn't do that" excuse again. Look at what happened between the Hutus and Tutsis back in the mid 90's - do you think that of all those who engaged in the genocide (which involved mostly hand weapons since most of the populace didn't have firearms), that not a single one of them were like you, that none of them had "character" while they killed off 800K Tutsis? Same thing for the French back in the Revolution, and in the Terror that soon followed from 1790 or so until Napoleon took over. Same thing for the Germans - look up the "beer riots" and the "Hoyerswerda riots". What do all these have in common? Easy - in retrospect, the participants almost certainly deeply regretted what they'd done,and wondered how the heck they'd been pulled into participating to begin with.

Oh, and then there's all the OTHER riots after soccer matches, some of which have lead to deaths. Do I need to list those for you, too?

And so it goes with you...because you're human. You'd do things that you'd never dream that you would ever do of your own volition, and then afterwards you'd wonder how the hell you ever let yourself do any of that.

Lastly, the local journalists and media DID report it - as you'd already have known if you'd looked first - and this article in Reuters makes it obvious that the Belgian law enforcement themselves knew that this had nothing to do with religion and everything to do with soccer.

Sounds like you are really losing it.
You are literally all over the map.
 
Bah, if one had wanted to see some real rioting over football, one should have gone to France last year. All those Muslims from Russia and the UK.

Or the world cup there in 1998.

Heck, the French even have Muslim players on the field and they're extremely violent to the ball, the way they keep kicking it. :roll:

I think clearly enough not to be sucked into herd mentality idiocies. I’m not a follower. I’d never be sucked into a mindless assault on others... because some other morons were doing it. That I can guarantee you.

Once again... I’m clear thinking, not a feral child, not one who would follow a crowd of morons. Would never happen. Has never happened.

I stand up for what is right... even if there is a crowd attempting feeble assaults. It’s actually wonderful doing the right thing when others are mired in twisted deeds. Whether it’s walking away from an idiocy, or confronting those engaged in a mass idiocy.

I understand the psychology of humans well enough not to follow idiots. Not to accept gifts in business because of the psychological effect it has for reciprocation. I’m aware of enough of the psychological traps so as to not fall into the ones that are a vortex or idiocy at worst. So, I can say... would never happen. It’s called character.

If I was on the side being attacked, I’d defend. I wouldn’t be for the slaughter of another tribe or race. You might be, I wouldn’t be.

Once again, you might be a follower, and have a weak character... I don’t.

As there were followers in all those atrocities, there were also those who did not participate out of principle.

Juventus-Liverpool for example? I’m not a hooligan. Are you claiming you are so weak that you’d be sucked into these idiocies?

And so it goes with you...because you're human. You'd do things that you'd never dream that you would ever do of your own volition, and then afterwards you'd wonder how the hell you ever let yourself do any of that.

Because I’m human, and I have free will... I can choose.

You seem to think you would follow the idiocies. That speaks more about you than me.
