And in all seriousness, the people partying in the street are clearly idiots - young, stupid, ignorant, naive people with mere conception at best of what exactly they are supposedly celebrating. Idiocy on an unprecedented scale. These people have no sense of gratitude and would probably proceed to do even less intelligent things if given half the chance. I don't condone any mindless action, or indeed any unthoroughly researched opinion. Spare me your tuppence and I'll spare you mine - let's have some facts, not anecdotes/spin.
