RIOTS, FIGHTS, PROPERTY DESTRUCTION IN KENTUCKY...RE: Sports

[ClosedCaption]

Riot After Kentucky Loss Ignites Race Debate On Twitter

Many Twitter users argued that the reports of the mostly white Kentucky fans’ rioting was reflective of a racial hierarchy in the U.S. They likened images of Kentucky fans burning objects to photos of the riots in Ferguson, Missouri, after the fatal shooting of black teen Michael Brown at the hands of a white police officer. They said the treatment of white vs. black rioters by law enforcement and news media showed that while black rioters were considered dangerous, white rioters were painted as merely “misunderstood.”

Many of the commentators were actually using images not of this riot, but past events at the University of Kentucky. The most widely-used photo—a woman screaming by a fire, which can be seen below—is actually from Kentucky’s celebration after its victory over the University of Louisville to advance to the Elite 8 in the NCAA tournament in 2014.

Kentucky fans riot, burn cars, etc. For SOME reason, looks different than other recent riot images.

Good thing #Kentucky fans didn't riot in #Ferguson! We'd be calling them thugs, not "fans." http://nyp.st/1C3G9j1

They act the same way win they win.

I was searching pictures of the backabawl riots, and some were from past victory "celebrations", and looked the same.

Other than the over turned car, looks like a bunch of bonfires to me. One protestor is taking a selfie with a cop. White people protesting is boring compared to the brothers protesting. Lol

Man, am I glad I never had a daughter.

That would be one child instantly funding her own lifestyle.

Arrests? Fine

It's obviously a false equivalence to say this was like fergusson. It's just the OP's latest attempt to marginalize/excuse what was extremely antisocial behavior that should be condemned by all civilized people.

I know in Ferguson cops feared for their lives, in Kentucky rioters are taking selfies with them. Also looks like a bunch of college students partying. Wonder if this will go on for days, like Ferguson did.

Whats different? I didnt know some guy was killed during the riots but it also doesnt say that it was because of the riot. So basically someone was killed on the day the riots were happening and that means something different to you because...black people something.

Why is this riot not anti social but whites who riot over sports...loses, wins and even pumpkins different? Business?

Is that why they arrested so many people?

They should be scared they only murdered someone and has been fucking with that community for years.

But thats not the point. The point is both were riots. Where are the conversations about family values? Or is that only a conversation when a business is hurt?
