I am not trying to score points here - merely making the comparison.
There were no 'innocents' in the attack against the policeman where he was tripped up and set upon, like animals.

The innocents were the people of Manchester having to put up with their city being destroyed. Any supporters that werent wanting to cause a riot would have been well hidden away, and rightly so. I have been in Manchester in a car, when its kicked off and a crowd of a few thousand have rushed the police like that, metres from where I was with my newborn. I have never been so scared in my life. Thankfully the police led them in a different direction (basically getting them out of the centre and the public).

Beats me how 'humans' can act like this because they lost a match
