I watched the entire vid. Seemed like things were going good for the most part. Then some idiots took it off the rails. Then it became us vs. them. So easy to blame the brown skins these days.

I think when someone is "on the ground", as it were, at one of these events you have to cede authority to them. Calling it BS when the guy who LIVES THERE is telling you it isn't is a little conceited and ill-advised. If this had happened in Ireland and I was telling you guys about it and you said "Meh, sounds like something being blown out of proportion" I'd be pissed at yea. Give the guy the benefit of being the man on the spot and listen to him, and don't be overriding what are basically facts he's giving you more or less firsthand with your own, uninformed and unconfirmed interpretation of how you think it went down.
