5. Were they maced and beaten?

And kept on buses for hours in zip-tie handcuffs?

6. Whew. I thought this was going to be another college sports pedophilia story.

Glad to see no coaches were involved.

7. How Darwinian of those fans

Its fine to be happy your team won something.

Why riot?

I don't get it.

8. Disgusting

All joking aside, isn't it ironic how riot police are sent to Occupy camps, but not to situations like this?
