@the-gravedigger saidYes, I just heard about that today, terrible people there with families. Now going to to a Football/Soccer match isn't even safe!
At least 125 people have been killed in a riot at a football match in Indonesia, most of whom were trampled to death after police fired tear gas, in one of the world's worst stadium disasters.

@the-gravedigger saidIt is reported that the Indonesian premier football league is the deadliest in the world in terms of fans murdering and maiming each other in organised hooliganism and violence. But, while this, and the history of conflict between these two particular clubs' fans, were what warranted such heavy police presence at the match, it looks like the blame for this stupendous death toll will be primarily laid at the feet of the thuggish, spooked and incompetent police.
