I love the double standard on display here.
What double standard? Both events aren't the same. It's not apples and oranges. It's more like red apples vs green apples.
Crowd disorder and rioting isn't just for white sports fans in America. International soccer events see it too. Major concerts see it.
Comparing white fans rioting after a sports game to a Ferguson riot isn't the same. It's more comparable to the violence you might see after a huge rap concert or event like Freaknik. Violence that comes out of an intoxicated crowd in a celebratory mood....which turns negative. Tactically that's far different than one that comes from a hostile, angry but sober crowd which is usually politically motivated. Like the anti immigrant Nazi movement that's growing in Europe right now. That's not the same as, say, a riot after a Manchester U game.
You were in the military. Though you'd grasp that. That a skirmish may look the same....but they're often very different based on what caused them and what the motive is. Anyone with any background in human conflict knows that silly.
They're both morally wrong. But to say they are the same is ignorant.
