Uruguay's derby between Peñarol and Nacional was called off on Sunday after fans clashed with police in and around the Centenario stadium, while cooking gas carafes were dropped from the stands against officers injuring several. An estimated 150 hooligans were finally arrested by riot policy with horses and dogs and the match was suspended when the police said it could not guarantee the safety of players and people at the stadium.

    Eduardo Bonomi is a useless idiot who considers these criminals as 'poor boys' in need of understanding and special dispensation by the so called 'judges', many of whom are Broad Fraud minions.

    The utter failure to address the rocketing crime and murders throughout the country but especially in MVD will result in the Broad Fraud being chucked out of office in three years time.

    I shudder to think what the crime and murder numbers will be like then.

    As for the 'football supporters' they need firing upon using live ammunition to reduce their numbers. That will cut the number of murders being carried out.

    Seems like “just another day at the ranch”....nothing out the normal...

    In Recife, two and a half years ago, we had a similar incident.....three supporters from the local team, while being held on the stadium's exit ramps, to allow the supporters from the visiting team to exit through other gates, threw two toilets from a height of 24 metres, onto the crowd below...one was killed, three seriously injured....the culprits (three of them) were eventually identified, brought to trial for murder, and got prison sentences of 22, 25 and 28 years. In their defence, the idiots claimed that they had 'no intention' of hitting anyone (???)....besides criminals, obviously plain stupid.
