John Lacny :
As you can imagine, Pittsburgh is a festive place at the moment. Brookline
Boulevard -- the main thoroughfare in my neighborhood, which is a stronghold
of working-class whites -- is an extremely entertaining and potentially
dangerous scene, because the weather has turned bad just as hordes of wildly
inebriated people are thronging into the streets, and unlike other
neighborhoods which were a priority for crowd control (police showed up on
horses and/or in full riot gear in Oakland and the South Side), I didn't see
a cop for blocks on my way home. 

What are people's views on the ethics of encouraging riots to no
sociopolitical purpose? Answer quickly, because I'm about to go join the
masses.

CB: I decided to walk through the crowd just before the game as they were
lining up to go into the stadium. They were all nice and orderly at that
time. :>) Mostly Pittsburgh fans ,of course, as they had a shorter distance
to come here. 

I walked the line , since these are the people we gotta reach for the rev in
the U.S.  I don't think they were mostly burghers, mostly working class,
though middle income. Mostly white. Men and women. I bet there are a lot
more women fans now than 40 years ago. I wonder.
