I'm sure you've heard of these people, there the ones who get so riled up over sporting events that they purposely attack other fans! Or if their team wins or loses they sometimes run through the streets flipping over parked cars, break windows, start fights, start fires and attack the police! This happens quite often at soccer games especially. There have been stabbings, people hit with objects os severely they've been killed or permantly injured. So why do people do this? What causes a person to become so infatuated with a sporting event that they would resort to violence? If it was just an occasional person doing something like this I would say well their just crazy, must have some kind of mental problem, but what about entire groups of people?
Personally I think its the group influence, people see one person acting this way then another and another and before long personal responsibility goes right out the window. What should or can be done about this type of behavior?
I think that anyone who is picked up for this kind of behavior by the police or on camera should face criminal charges for their actions and they should recieve a life long ban from future sporting events! Stadiums should have a computer system with names of all these offenders, if they have a ticket and try to get in they should have their money returned and sent away.
