The Pamplona Paradox
2017-07-08
[WAPO] PAMPLONA, Spain -- Two Americans were gored and several other people were injured Saturday during the second running of the bulls at this year’s San Fermin festival in the northern Spanish city of Pamplona, officials said.

The regional government of Navarra said that a 22-year-old American man identified with the initials J.C. was in serious condition at a nearby hospital after being gored. Another 35-year-old American identified as B.H. was in stable condition after being gored.

Televised images showed a bull thrusting its horn into a man’s buttocks before flipping him into the street, while another man’s arm was impaled and he was dragged for several meters (yards) before the bull flung him off and stormed over him.

Three other Americans, two Frenchmen and three Spaniards -- all men -- needed treatment at the hospital for injures received during the frantic and crowded run of thrill-seekers.

On Friday, two Americans and a Spaniard were gored on the first running. All three were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

#1  As someone either chasing or running from bulls prrofessionally in my youth, the whole Pamplona thing is incomprehensible.
