Am I the only one who finds this crazy?
That has got to be like exhibit D or so for reasons I'm happy I live here
You know what's rrrreeeeallllyyyyy crazy about all this? Alcohol is forbidden in Islam. So all those people are sober. Give or take.
Maybe they were chewing that khat thing that agitates people and gives you energy. I have no idea if there's something fueling this. I hear the middle east is big on tea, but I can't chalk that up to caffeein.
The only thing I can think of that strikes me as similarly crazy is pepper spraying peaceful protesters and 80 year old women.
That excludes nuts that stockpile massive amounts of weapons and whatnot...total nuts don't count. This theoretically should be fairly sane normal people.
I guess college rioting is equally insane....that stuff in Vancouver was nuts. But that in many cases is pretty young people with alcohol
