This is just another reason why you NEVER go to games because it is not worth losing your life over it just is not.
To think that something that is supposed to be fun and exciting turns out to dangerous to life this is so insane I don’t have the proper words.
Egypt is in political unrest right now. Most Egyptians want civil government again and this is a prime example why.
