Hey, remember last week when I was amazed the Edmonton Caribbean Festival went off without any violence despite the identities of the parties involved?
why is it when the second-most violent of all races stops being violent when you throw all of them together in a giant pile?
Well travel forward in time one week, and look what happened:
The evening protest came after tensions boiled over hours earlier on the city’s north side, forcing officers to don their riot gear.Oh those wacky Eritreans, always involved in violent confrontations against..well, apparently other Eritreans.The riot act was read, which police said gives people a fair warning to clear out before officers move in to break up a conflict.
“We did have to provide that warning so that people, folks, bystanders have the opportunity to leave and everyone involved has an opportunity to leave on their own — and to notify them that there may be some type of tactics used by police so there’s fair warning,” Dalziel said. “Yes, we did have to do that today.”
Both the anti-Eritrea demonstrators and festivals organizers went their separate ways and police said at that point, there were no significant issues at the initial location.For those wondering if they think this is a familiar story with African filth bringing their pathetic Dark Continent pathologies onto our city streets...no, this is a different one than last time. Oh, or the time before that.That quickly changed.
The soccer match — billed as an event meant to promote world peace — instead descended into chaos Saturday afternoon, forcing the Edmonton Police Service to send in a large number of officers in tactical gear to keep two fighting sides separated.
At approximately 11 a.m., police responded to 132nd Avenue and 113A Street, where the festival and demonstration had reportedly moved to the park at Rosslyn School.
The Canada World Peace Soccer Tournament was taking place at several locations in north Edmonton on Saturday, including that park.
