At least Minnesota doesn’t have the death penalty. I bet if this took place in place in New York or Cali they would do it.

Released without bail. Willing to bet the judge was giggling reading the charges.

It’s got an awful lot better the last ten or fifteen years or so. There are still flashpoints where it mixes with all the sectarian rubbish in Scotland (and a few other places.) but the days of fights at every match are gone. Still issues abroad a la continent and I think the Russians like their football hoologanism still.
when football started to become a big money/family thing, they really cracked down on the firms. After the Hillsborough Disaster as well, most places went to all seating, rather than standing stands, and so they jacked up the prices to account for fewer attendees as well. Football is HUGE in the UK, and it’s cleaned up a lot.
I’m showing my age but 20 years back, it wasn’t uncommon for me to walk home (I lived in the city centre near a football ground) and have to skirt a small riot, complete with mounted police. Huge groups of skinheads and casuals chucking stuff and spitting at the police, it was bloody awful.
(Minor power level but I’m a very small woman and a mounted copper once intervened when a couple of casuals tried to lay hands on me when I was trying to get to my front door so I have a soft spot for the boys in blue on horses. )
Anyone going up against mounted police is hard of thinking.

Not the same, but in the UK they graffitied the Cenotaph, the memorial to service men killed in WWI. It's more than that though, it's sort of a figurehead for where we celebrate WWI and WWII stuff. Today is the anniversary of the D-Day landings. This happened yesterday and service men and women scrubbing off the graffiti - some of whom were non-white - were verbally abused by white cunts "standing up" for racism
People are preoccupied with stuff just now, and it's not being commented on much, but this shit will stick in people's memories and bite the arse of the left in the next GE in a few years time

Once again, we have to go to Sir John Glubb's Fate of Empires to answer this:
XIII . The Age of Commerce
Let us now, however, return to the lifestory of our typical empire. We have already considered the age of outburst, when a littleregarded people suddenly bursts on to the world stage with a wild courage and energy. Let us call it the Age of the Pioneers. Then we saw that these new conquerors acquired the sophisticated weapons of the old empires, and adopted their regular systems of military organisation and training. A great period of military expansion ensued, which we may call the Age of Conquests. The conquests resulted in the acquisition of vast territories under one government, thereby automatically giving rise to commercial prosperity. We may call this the Age of Commerce.....The first half of the Age of Commerce appears to be peculiarly splendid. The ancient virtues of courage, patriotism and devotion to duty are still in evidence. The nation is proud, united and full of self-confidence. Boys are still required, first of all, to be manly—to ride, to shoot straight and to tell the truth.... Boys’ schools are intentionally rough. Frugal eating, hard living, breaking the ice to have a bath and similar customs are aimed at producing a strong, hardy and fearless breed of men. Duty is the word constantly drummed into the heads of young people. The Age of Commerce is also marked by great enterprise in the exploration for new forms of wealth....
XV The Age of Affluence
There does not appear to be any doubt that money is the agent which causes the decline of this strong, brave and self-confident people. The decline in courage, enterprise and a sense of duty is, however, gradual. The first direction in which wealth injures the nation is a moral one. Money replaces honour and adventure as the objective of the best young men. Moreover, men do not normally seek to make money for their country or their community, but for themselves. Gradually, and almost imperceptibly, the Age of Affluence silences the voice of duty. The object of the young and the ambitious is no longer fame, honour or service, but cash. Education undergoes the same gradual transformation. No longer do schools aim at producing brave patriots ready to serve their country. Parents and students alike seek the educational qualifications which will command the highest salaries. The Arab moralist, Ghazali (1058-1111), complains in these very same words of the lowering of objectives in the declining Arab world of his time. Students, he says, no longer attend college to acquire learning and virtue, but to obtain those qualifications which will enable them to grow rich. ....The immense wealth accumulated in the nation dazzles the onlookers. Enough of the ancient virtues of courage, energy and patriotism survive to enable the state successfully to defend its frontiers. But, beneath the surface, greed for money is gradually replacing duty and public service. Indeed the change might be summarised as being from service to selfishness....
XVII Defensiveness
Another outward change which invariably marks the transition from the Age of Conquests to the Age of Affluence is the spread of defensiveness. The nation, immensely rich, is no longer interested in glory or duty, but is only anxious to retain its wealth and its luxury. It is a period of defensiveness, from the Great Wall of China, to Hadrian’s Wall on the Scottish Border, to the Maginot Line in France in 1939. Money being in better supply than courage, subsidies instead of weapons are employed to buy off enemies. To justify this departure from ancient tradition, the human mind easily devises its own justification. Military readiness, or aggressiveness, is denounced as primitive and immoral. Civilised peoples are too proud to fight. The conquest of one nation by another is declared to be immoral. Empires are wicked. This intellectual device enables us to suppress our feeling of inferiority, when we read of the heroism of our ancestors, and then ruefully contemplate our position today. ‘It is not that we are afraid to fight,’ we say, ‘but we should consider it immoral.’ This even enables us to assume an attitude of moral superiority. The weakness of pacifism is that there are still many peoples in the world who are aggressive. Nations who proclaim themselves unwilling to fight are liable to be conquered by peoples in the stage of militarism— perhaps even to see themselves incorporated into some new empire, with the status of mere provinces or colonies. When to be prepared to use force and when to give way is a perpetual human problem, which can only be solved, as best we can, in each successive situation as it arises. In fact, however, history seems to indicate that great nations do not normally disarm from motives of conscience, but owing to the weakening of a sense of duty in the citizens, and the increase in selfishness and the desire for wealth and ease.

Still showing hypocrisy. Lockdown protests are bad, and BLM protests are good. At least lockdown protests didn’t have mass destruction.

So this explicitly just says the thought behind the gathering determines if it's dangerous or not? Like I basically can't read this any other way from 'it's only okay to gather when we do it'.

That's such a gross hypocrisy with them. Covid protesters afaik weren't violent. Some groups blocked entrances and that's rude, but they didn't seriously harm people or destroy anything. They just shouted and waved signs. Some had guns according to pics, but they weren't even using them at all. But even the mere fact of someone having a gun is violence apparently. /sneed
The same people who used the terms covidiot to denigrate people protesting the lockdown are the ones now praising all the riots. But noooo, protests are only good when they do it.
