South African’s Warning to English Hooligans blunt and to the point: Don’t F@#$ with us

I couldn’t stop laughing as I read through this article in the Times today about the ‘Prison trains’ being setup in South Africa to deal with the potential hooligans showing up for the World Cup.  The reality of the situation isn’t the funny part, it is the thought of drunken idiots from rich first world countries showing up in literally the most hostile, violent and dangerous part of the world thinking they are king shit(with the aid of alcohol of course) and starting trouble.   I think it may be the thought of these drunken clowns, who are so used to getting away with their bullying, violent behavior in their home country finally getting what’s coming to them and hopefully teaching them a looonnnggg overdue lesson is what makes me smile.

I just love the blunt, no beating around the bush warning that the African police give to these potential trouble makers:

“The message I send to any England fans thinking about starting trouble is simple,” Young said. “We police the Third World every single day. Do you think we are intimidated by a bunch of drunken boys in football jerseys?

“We are at war in the townships. It is a front line where our officers get shot at and killed all the time. What can a drunk football hooligan do?”

Part of my laughter problem also comes from putting myself in the shoes of these African police officers who must just be looking forward to this like no one’s business.  As stated above these brave souls spend their time fighting and dying against the most brutal, violent and insane gangs on the planet but for the next little while they get to take all their aggression out on stupid, fat drunken english clowns who are going to deserve and ask for every piece of punishment they get.  It’s going to be like a trip to Disneyland for these boys in blue.

Obviously it’s no cakewalk, there are tough motherfuckers in England who basically have a profession just fighting and sometimes killing people in violent gang like brawls during, before and after football matches.  But to make it clear on the differences between these two parts of the world, this is what English gang members look like:

And of course this is what the equivalent in Africa looks like:

I am predicting some interesting news headlines coming out of this part of the world in the coming weeks that have nothing to do with winning or loosing teams.
