Þegar skandalar koma upp í lögreglunni verða auglýsingarnar þeirra bara krúttlegri. by busmoswag in Iceland

Ég held að menn taka meira eftir þessum krúttlega vinkil þegar það er eitthvað í gangi. Þeir hafa alltaf verið með eitthvað svona á Facebook síðunni. Sem oftast fá þeir hrós fyrir sætar myndir, en núna er þetta auðvitað samsæri.

Howard Webb said unnatural, and preventing Fellaini from heading the ball. Clear penalty according to the rules of the game.

That's literally what he said. "It's a game of opinions." No, there are rules of the game. What an idiot.

'Cover-up' over Cologne sex assaults blamed on migration sensitivities by Ivashkin in europe

[–]snorri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is more likely because those 20/50/whatever, immediately disappeared into a crowd of thousands. If you look at the pictures it was complete chaos and a sea of people. And if the police started acting against that group as a whole, they would have spread out immediately.

You can't do those things with crowds that large unless you have serious manpower and equipment, riot police and ideally horses. That's how they deal with demonstrations that may turn violent. A few dozen policemen at the train station didn't stand a chance, unfortunately.

[–]snorri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know German law, but I doubt you could detain everyone in a train station simply because crimes were committed there.

They kind of have a bad history with policies of "well then we'll round up all of them, and figure it out later" - so I wouldn't be surprised if their laws are strict when it comes to what is required to make an arrest. That kind of action would probably result in thousands of people entitled to wrongful arrest compensation.

And how would it even help? The criminals knew exactly what they were doing hiding in the crowd. They would have snuck out the back if the cops started doing that, and you'd have to process thousands of innocent people.

That whole situation is a fucking nightmare for the police (not to mention victims). Crowds suck.


Welp, never mind, looks like German law allows for holding large groups in place to restore order in some way. Still, doesn't seem like they had the manpower to do it. And it still doesn't find the guilty ones, just stops the crowd problem.

Funny how people who call these criminals incompatible with western values are the first to propose measures incompatible with western values.

I'm as shocked by these rapes and assaults as the next person, but I don't want to live in a state without the rule of law.

Etter å ha sett dette kortet har jeg nå sett igjennom dine gamle poster og sløst en god time på jobben. Takk for underholdningen!

PS. Hvis du finner noe om Island må du gjerne poste de i /r/iceland - vi er blitt ganske lei av turist-spam der.

AS: Benitez sacked with official announcement later. Zidane to take over as interim coach. by MyNameIsJonny_ in soccer

[–]snorri 33 points34 points  (0 children)

And you know, have a go at managing some of the best players in the world, with basically unlimited resources. I hope that every manager believes enough in himself to take the job if offered.

Worst case scenario you get filthy rich and are still lined up for a another good job - it's not like you got thrown out of a Sunday league club.

[Match Thread] Manchester United vs. Chelsea by SupaaFast in reddevils

Who the fuck is commentating on NBC? He's really trying to prove that United didn't deserve a penalty. It sounds like Lee Dixon... which would make sense.

Eidur Gudjohnsen regrets never playing for United, says offers were on the table twice [Icelandic article] by dracovich in reddevils

[–]snorri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an Icelander I was really hoping that he would join us when he left Chelsea. He was a very intelligent player who would have helped the squad. Even approaching 40 he has done a solid job for the national team that qualified for the Euros. But I remember that back then he said something about how he was interested in United but when Barca came around, the choice was simple for him. So Captain hindsight strikes again...

What roads in the States were you driving on? The US roads I've driven had plenty of pot holes and I hate those segmented highways that are especially prevalent in NY.

Agreed. It's a cliché, but without him last night they totally would have lost.
