Better crying than leaving a police officer in a coma as the Germans did to a police officer in 1998. Not sure if the police officer died.

Flashback:

“July 10, 2006 – Rome – Neo-fascists celebrating Italy’s World Cup victory vandalized walls, doors and vehicles in the Jewish quarter of Rome with swastikas and other anti-Semitic graffiti. The neighborhood, where many in Rome’s small Jewish community live or work, is within walking distance from Circus Maximus, the ancient Roman entertainment area where more than 600,000 fans held a jubilant rally for the players of the national team. Italy’s Prime Minister Romano Prodi and other politicians strongly condemned the incident as an “ignoble gesture of hate and intolerance.”

Today:

“Neo-Nazis, Islamists declare ‘You Jews are beasts’ during protest of Israeli operation

A demonstration in Frankfurt against Operation Protective Edge erupted into violence, with protesters tossing stones at the police.”

Makes you wonder, maybe it’s different but like the Rome incident, it happens the day after the home-country won the World Cup.
