And my ticket was right next to them (we were separated from the Ultras by a 10 foot corrugated metal barrier with spikes on top. My section was full of Ultra wannabe's who were nearly as bad.

I stayed until halftime and then got the fuck out of there while the getting was good. I had to pass a phalanx of riot cops in full gladiator gear just to get to the Metro station.

Situational awareness…
 
Three possibilities re: daylight:

1) Iran
2) He is immune from blackmail
3) Less likely - but Musk isn’t a climate denier, which is a big red flag for Kremlin

Also, ironically, is Trump now “too big” for Putin… he’s now aware he can do so much more looting and rent seeking than what Trump Tower Moscow would have paid off.

Wehave was concerned of being in an unsafe situation, not one where we was targeted because of his race.

Again, this wasn't a rowdy crowd that went awry. This was a targeted attack because it was known israeli's would be there. The situational awareness you are preaching is jews shouldn't congregate publicly in europe (and we're next here too).
 
yah the situational awareness conversation is one that can be had in the context of attending live sporting events on 'enemy turf'.

but I don't see any relevance to what happened here, which was a premeditated antisemitic pogrom.
 
and yeah, only a matter of time before we see something similar here. then Justin will retweet the same tweet he's used dozens of times, and take no meaningful action. my expectation at least.
 
That’s a fair comment. I really think there’s going to be blowback, and I think it’ll spread to wider group of targets. What I’m saying is that we should be prepared for it.

It’s a very bad situation.

(And the Amsterdam police didn’t exactly cover themselves in glory either.)

while you're right that we should be prepared for it, I never imagined in my lifetime that this would be something I needed to prepare for.

nor is it something any minority group should ever need to prepare for. so it's both scary, and quite upsetting.

upsetting because we know it's coming but the powers that be don't seem to want to do anything about it
 
Right, my point of reference are the Paris attacks.

Soft targets for unhinged minds.

We don’t know which way things will go. But now it looks like the conditions are there for some ugly, seemingly random stuff.
 
And I’m not accusing anyone of anything re: the conditions.

I’m just saying this is what they are and we need come to grips with it.
