Another one that can't fuckin read.
In my opinion the disgraceful behaviour of many football fans in that era contributed to this tragedy. Therefore fans were PARTLY to blame.
Stating a valid opinion is not trolling. Ignorant cunt.
The failure of the officials to adequately manage the event contributed wholly to this tragedy, the fans were NOT to blame for the circumstances behind it.
I suggest you read this article explaining why crowds can turn deadly. http://www.citylab.com/crime/2012/07/ph ... ters/2550/ This is what can happen when adequate controls are not put in place, the only people responsible for adequate controls are the people organising the event.
The officials knew that the penned in terraces had a capacity limit, they didn't adhere to it, they knew that to go over the capacity would create a crush at the front with deaths and injury the likely result, they ignored it. The penned in terraces were there for a reason, no one will dispute that, however, that does not excuse the actions of the police and other officials at the match in their failure to control the crowd, ensure the safety of the fans and prevent an incident such as this.
Your continued insistence in putting any of the blame onto the fans and victims at this match is trolling because the result of the inquest states otherwise.
