#1 Who wants to bet the post-game frenzies assume a much calmer tone for a while?

#2 What actually happened was the soccer thugs made their way to a university campus, which isn't even close to the stadium, and started attacking students. University security couldn't handle them, and the police stepped in. The police somehow bungled this, because soccer thugs are under constant watch.

I've seen these thugs in action. They take over city buses and consider themselves invincible. Most of them are young teens, believe or not, easily pushed over on a single basis but in a group they are fearless.

#3 I've seen these thugs (Hooligans not the polish police) in action many times and strongly advocate the use of snipers to "thin the herd" a little. These people are complete and utta bastards, look at what happened when Arkan put kalashnikovs in the hands of "Belgrade red Star" supporters........

#4 Hmmmm "accidently" works for me.... Think the thugs will be sure there's rubber bullets next time? Play it like the Lotto - you never know when it's your turn!

#5 Not unlike the San Diego police. One of the reasons San Diego is such a livable city is the low survival rate of thugs, hooligans, and assorted miscreants who challenge the local authorities. They only shoot the guns out of their hands in the movies.

#6 I like this Polish variant of Russian Roulette. Even if they assumed they were using rubber bullets, the police wouldn't fire randomly into the crowd but target the worst rabble rousers. So whether you got plugged by a rubber bullet or a full metal jacket you were likely doing something you shouldn't have.

"We'd better mind our manners, mates, I heard they hired off-duty Polish policemen for security today."

"But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya--punk?"

#10 Q. What's black and blue and floats down the river on its back?

A. The next person to tell a Polish joke.
