Looks like American gang violence on a much larger scale.

Or LA gang violence on a much smaller scale.

I haven't seen gangs in LA doing this is broad daylight. They at least wait unntil nightfall for their illegalities. But Rarely pay that much attention to the left coast anyway.

Do they strip and molest and generally beat people in public like this?

The Rodney King riots went on for around four days straight. Assaults happened pretty regularly. Two people were almost killed. One, Reginald Denny, had his head caved in with a cinderblock. The other, Fidel Lopez, had his ear cut off and his genitals spray-painted black. Both of these assaults happened in broad daylight and were captured on video.

Looks like you need glasses or a much larger monitor screen.

To compare such a Technoparade with your "American gang violence" is BS.

Looks, like you know it ..... Anyhow: Daffy joke.

Bloody hate Techno. This is a good example of why the Government should blow up the Channel Tunnel!

Either way you look at it. The particular people in this video that acted in such a primitive mannor are far behind the evolutionary curve of civilism. This is flat out inexcusable to behave in this mannor.

Agreed. It's much easier to pull out the hand gun immediately and clean-up the situation in a Hollywood style.

You mean Compton and South Central.

By gang members or rioteers?

Damian Williams, who was convicted for the attack on Denny and charged with one of the attacks on Lopez, was a member of the gang "The Eight Tray Gangster Crips."

Were all the people that were commiting violence during the riots gang members of The Eight Tray Gangster Crips?

All? Almost certainly not; there were a lot of gangs involved in those riots.

A lot? Yes.

========
The E/S 83 Gangster Crips (pronounced East Side Eight Tray Gangster Crips) are one of Los Angeles‘s most well known Crip Gangs. Their territory extends from Florence (north) to 89th Street (south) between Vermont (east) to Van Ness Avenue (west). Their territory also extends on the westside to Van Ness Avenue between 79th Street (north) and Manchester (south). ETG’s were strongly involved in the 1992 Los Angeles riots and one-time member Kody Scott (aka Sanyika Shakur) wrote a popular autobiography entitled An Autobiography of an L.A. Gang Member while he was in prison during the 1980s.

So what was the issue here? Were people protesting? Is that just random soccer hooligans? Were the police rounding up a specific group of people?

My thinking is that they were probably rioters that happened to be crips too.

But the fact that they were in a gang was not the driving force for them to do what they did in public, and in daylight.

From what I can tell, the video is of a Technoparade in Paris. It's like a festival/march/party/drug market for young folks with no taste in music who don't mind not having available sanitary facilities. I have no idea what happened here, if the animals were part of the parade or just taking advantage of it.

Anyone have a better idea of what happened?

That's what their elders said about those kids on Yasgur's farm in August, 1969.

Congratulations. You are your grandfather.

In that case . . . meh.

Seems to me it's a bit like getting an elbow in the face while jumping around in a mosh pit. Or attending a rally of soccer holligans or a "celebration" in an inner city after a major sporting event.

What the fuck did they think was going to happen?

Yeah. It doesn't show the brighter side of life, but it's not the end of the world. Sure, it may seem that way to the individual victims. I can sympathize a bit with that, but overall it's not like the civil unrest of the LA riots. That comparison is pretty overblown.

Yeah, dunno if I would have gone to Woodstock either (wasn't around to make the choice). Definitely didn't go to the second one. And if I wind up anything like the same man my grandfather was, I'll be proud to say so.

You hit the nail squarely on the head.
