In another shameful reminder of how Americans care more about sports than the future of their own country, Seattle Seahawks fans reacted to their team’s Super Bowl victory by behaving like animals – lighting fires, damaging historic buildings and ripping down street signs during raucous scenes last night.

And just wait until the Rams come back.
Whatever happened to just shooting off firecrackers and popping champaign? Oh, never mind... this is “New” America...
if one thinks that’s bad, imagine all the stoned people in Denver after the game.... really stoned.... the new AmeriKa...
There’s these things called rubber bullets ...
The Greens and the Blues fighting in the streets of Rome after the chariot races.
How much more obvious could it be the the path we are following?
NOOO the Raiders LOL!
If Raiders do move back to LA you see biggest LA riot ever
...and what’s wrong with lead?
Bull crap. Get serious.
This is Microsoft country, straight east across the lake from downtown Seattle.
About 5 minutes of whooping and horn honking and bottle rockets when the game ended, then, completely normal.
I was surprised, because we have a number of sports bars, and quite a few (upscale) drinking establishments.
Five bears. I raise you one.
I certainly did not mean to cast asparagus upon the fair face and form of that paragon of feminine virtue, Ms. Amanda. In fact, I am surely glad she eventually won her appeal in that rather idiosyncratic justice system and was released from durance vile in plenty of time for the riots.
However, I shall remain convinced that Ms. Amanda, as guilty or innocent as she may be, did not download the full story, i.e., did not let us in on the details she may have known or not known of her roomie's demise.
However, one should look at the bright side. She went to Italy to learn Italian, and learn it she did while accepting room and board from the Eyetie Gov. Neither was it some dry classroom version of the lingo, but a far more spicy and pungent version. Ms. Amanda, should perhaps view it as a sort of scholarship.
BTW, were I she, I would tend to avoid any planned trips to that certain boot-shaped Mediterranean country of your forebears.
I had to scamper to Wikipedia for the meaning of that reference.
Thanks for posting.
Sounds like Justinian didn't get much sleep that week.
I follow that advice myself. My people left for a reason and my parents whose parents came here learned very little italian as their parents said “this is America we speak English now”. Unlike my 2nd generation born here Puerto Rican sister in law whose English is atrocious and believes she needs to keep her “culture”.
You want to kill people? Don’t let me stop you. :-)
Always thought potheads were calm and non-violent - must be the over-caffeinization.
In the second trial, the prosecution completely abandoned their original theory of the case, which was the violent “sex game” explanation.
In the first trial, the primary witness against Knox, Rudy Guede, completely changed his original story to police.
He received a 14 year reduction in his sentence (eligible for release in 2014), AFTER Knox and her boyfriend were convicted.
Finally, in the current trial, the judge has ONLY released his verdict.
He can wait 90 days before releasing the rationale behind his decision!
What do you call their efforts to reduce 49rs fans attendance during the playoffs by restricting ticket sales to anyone with a California home address?
Hmmmmm?
I’m not in on Seahawk corporate decisions, but it sounds like they wanted their fans to have first crack at playoff tickets. Maybe it was a public health issue, owing to the foul odor that surrounds 49er followers.
the pergola that was renovated at such a high cost back in 2001?
I believe so - the one a truck backed into, IIRC. Knuckleheads.
There was no riots in Seattle. Rumors started by SF and Denver fans.
