first off:
what can you expect from an almost free concert (tickets were given for 3 snickers wrappings)???
then:
most people coming were kids, say 15-22/23 (even though you needed to be 18 to go through the gates (yeah right!)
i mean, remember iron maiden or festival imperial. tons of pot and beer, everyone was cool; i think organization has a lot to do with it and also the average type of people coming to it.
and wolfie, you are absolutely right; in fact back at my job we were discussing: give tombos some rubber bullets!!! tear gas just makes hell break loose
when some these fuckers start getting hurt they will also start behaving.

josh , good idea about the rubber bullets
the people that actually got screwed are the small businesses that got destroyed (the U Latina have bunches of money to recover plus they are probably insured, not that either one of those make it up for what happened)
someone I know has a dental clinic right there, I hope she didnt lose all those $$ too

Something is wrong with Costa Rica when people break windows of a university after listening to a band with that name.
Do you see what I am saying slim? Los Pericos? WTF?hno:
LOL but they didn't even listen to the band, the riot was cause they couldn't get in to the place.....so they said that the 3 snickers they had to buy were to expensive for them to stay out
ope:
You put too many people on the streets at the same time (especially many drunk), and shit happens. Crowds have totally different dynamics than individuals and small groups; and all it takes is a few assholes.
The concert organizers, U. Latina and the city of San Pedro are also to blame for fucking that up so badly.
I was in Pioneer Square for the Mardi Gras riots in Seattle (2001). The city had this brilliant fucking idea of forcing all the clubs and bars to close at midnight, emptying them at full capacity onto the streets (rather than allowing them to slowly empty in the later hours); and then putting hundreds of Seattle's finest on the streets in riot gear.
Seriously fucked up idea; even God got pissed and demolished the area with an 6.8 earthquake the following morning.
