Things like this are why the the 3rd world is the 3rd world. You can add enormous amounts of wealth and opportunity, skyscrapers and cars and air conditioning. But unless fundamentals of culture change then you will always have this. It’s the same in China (no respect for human life), Mexico (no respect for the rule of law), and the rest of the 3rd world.
Odd huh? Maybe some nfl pampered assclowns could kneel down in support. Ungrateful shots don’t know what it’s like.
I’ve always wondered about the psychology and sociology of stampedes. Although they very rarely happen in the Western world, they are a common occurrence in the Third World. Why is that? It is NOT about massive crowds. We have massive crowds at events and yet we only rarely have stampedes. The Third World has them all the time. Why? It has to be a cultural difference.
Holy Cow...
