Walking The Line Between Celebration & Chaos

I am as much about celebration as the next person but when it turns to crime and chaos then that’s over the line. Such is the case in Lexington where University of Kentucky fans are burning couches, pulling up stop signs and even pulling the fire hose from a passing fire truck to use as a tug of war rope. To “celebrate” their NCAA Championship win.
.
As if the state of Kentucky needs something else to highlight idiocy and lack of class. These over zealous partiers should be made an example of by being jailed and fined as much as the law will allow. I know it may sound as if I’m a party pooper or a Debbie Downer but when you destroy property and put the lives of others in danger for pleasure then it becomes a crime and should be dealt with accordingly.
.
So as not to sound as if this is the prejudice rants of a Louisville fan, I want to make it perfectly clear that my opinion regarding the celebratory chaos holds true for anyone involved in such madness. The evening that the Louisville Cardinals made it to the Final Four fans took to the streets in the same manner as in Lexington. I say, if you can’t behave then you need to be held accountable.
.
In my opinion, these are the same types that were claiming to be the 99% during the Occupy Movements across the country. These types are always looking for a reason to justify their lack of intelligence.
.
I’m sure everyone has an opinion on this very topic. I would be quite interested to hear anyone else’s take on this.
