this is what happens when two people stand their ground over ground that was never theirs to begin with. This is what happens when you live in a country that allows you to bear arms, you mean. |

It's funny, I can imagine Dutch people being almost as bad, but there is just no chance i can see a Finnish person doing the same.
First year i was here, we went to a heavy metal festival, where the gates malfunctioned.
Instead of a huge mass, there was this 2 km long queue going all the way back to the railway station, where everyone was just calmly chatting and being perfectly okay with it all( they ofcourse delayed the bands so it would all work out for everyone)

I just love that!  People think metal fans are evil devil worshiping monsters who'd eat their own kids. But in reality you never find a nicer more laid back lot of law abiding people than if you go to a metal concert. Now if you want to see scary outta control monsters go to a Justin Bieber concert & look at how his fans behave. Now they are scary!   |

When the gates didn't crash down, the crowd would then start flipping cars, looting, and rioting. |
