Of those drunk hooligans last night…
First of all, if you have no idea what this is about or if you’re one of those dumb people who LOL at everything, please, stay away. Last night there was enough morons for one whole year in my life, so STFU. Oh yes, any weird, generalising, nationalist or separatist comments to this will be deleted, too. I don’t care if you’re a random troll from whatever place, you’re not going to spam my blog.
Then, salutes to wonderful people such as Sigge, Vera and Fran. And, no, I don’t think any of you is a part of the ignorant world. Ignorant world is everywhere, including here. I guess that’s what I forgot to state in my previous post. It’s those people who get things wrong and never react against anything bad:(
Things were like hell last night. The whole centre of the city was demolished by hooligans and I have no idea how does that relate to Kosovo in any way. Basically, for those of you who don’t know, 500 000 people gathered on what was supposed to be, and mostly was, a peaceful protest in front of the national parliament and later on, inside and around the biggest Orthodox church on the Balkans; against the illegal (from the point of law) independence of the province of Kosovo, which our [Serbian] government did not accept, as well as many other countries, including Spain, Slovakia and Romania. However, among those 500 000 people, there were about 1000 hooligans, likely football fans, bikers, school dropouts, notorious teenage drunks and similar waste, butthole of the country. Those hooligans separated from the main group, broke the security and robbed two clothing stores close to the parliament.

After that, they went to the USA embassy and set it on fire somehow. The staff was evacuated and the firemen managed to put the fire out, but one of the hooligans was apparently so drunk, that he ended up being caught in fire and he burned alive, they still didn’t manage to indentify him and notify his family. Then they set the Croatian flag in front of the Croatian embassy on fire and threw a couple of rocks, but police finally reacted and saved the building, so the hooligans then set a private house next door on fire and, as firemen couldn’t arrive, people in the house, among them an elderly couple, had to put out the fire on their own and they lost two rooms in fire. They also tried to attack Canadian, Bosnian, Belgian, Turkish, Italian, German and British embassy - doubt it was because of any of those countries in particular, but because those were on their way back to the innner centre of the city. Since all attempts resulted only in broken windows, they ended up setting random people’s cars and trash bins on fire.
My friend Dragana at some pont ended up in front of the Turkish embassy, trying to calm people down. The police did arrive, but only when her workmate called them. They were slow, dumb and useless and nothing was really solved until the special forces were brought out.
Then they went to one of the main squares and totally destroyed the first McDonald’s restaurant in the city that has been around for 20 years, in a house that belonged to a famous writer, which had old furniture on the upper floor and was protected by law, and back in the days, many of my schoolmates’ birthdays were celebrated there and somehow it’s a place where I like to go alone. It was also set on fire, but the firemen managed to put that fire down as well. Idiots. Too much hypocricy, huh? They have a problem with McDonald’s, yet they use foreign slang and, right now, steal foreign branded clothes? Come on, those people aren’t even extreme nationalists, just extreme morons and drunken youth on crack or something, in case they can’t afford that crack.
They came accross another, bigger one, where my friends and I usually hang out and threw a self-made bomb inside, but that one is not as damaged. On their stampedo through the centre, they robbed almost all the stores in the city, from groceries to shops with expensive watches (Lush shop somehow wasn’t robbed, maybe because we have enormous window blinds that are hard to break).
One guy filmed two random bitches among those hooligans, stealing stuff.

Later on, as this footage ended up on TV all accross the world, these girls phoned the main TV stations and claimed that “they were not stealing, just taking” because “they have nothing”. Yes, right, how about the butt tattoo and expensive hairdo? YEAH RIGHT, they have nothing and are poor, starving people who are going to eat the shoes and clothes they stole. Seeeriously 
They’re, of course, going to be arrested, together with 192 people who were already arrested and more of them who are being searched for at the moment. Stupid miserable sluts, using other people’s sadness to
Clearly, these people were protesting against Kosovo indepedence by destroying, well, capital of our own country…yeah, right…:(:(:(
Luckily, foreign politicians, apart from the Germans who seem to be very errr…German about this, have stated and realised that these people were hooligans and that they won’t hold a grudge against Serbia. But the centre of Beograd now looks like a sight of war and who knows how long it will take for everything to be back to normal.

Some things never change no matter where you are…
What do you mean by that?
I don’t mean you. I mean these stupid people are everywhere in the world. People will be people, I guess — especially selfish ones.
Those stupid selfish kids!
Stealing, setting buildings and flags on fire, and SETTING HOMES OF THE INNOCENT ELDERLY ON FIRE <33.
Oh my lord.
Some people are just evil.
I’m still very upset because of the whole thing.First of all,why would government go on and organize such protest,like they didn’t know it was bound to turn out into something like this?!Like protesting can change anything anyway?!I mean,of course it’s unfair what happened to Kosovo,but maybe instead of organzing pointless protests,they could have tried and dealt wih it in a more dignified way and try and find an actual soultion.That’s my opinion.But OK,let’s say it’s fine to protest peacefully,why the hell go on and demolish YOUR own city?!!YOU live there,not Americans or Croats or Germans or whoever!Unbelievable!Not to mention one life was lost.A student,who was actually a refugee from Kosovo and studying in Novi Sad,was burned alive in the American embassy.The saddest thing about it is that, regardless of the fact that a young life was lost,if tomorrow another ‘peaceful’ protest was to happen,they would all go and do the same thing!That’s how stupid people can be!I can’t stand it!
Wow, I didn’t know all that. Of course, in the informations, they ALWAYS simplify as they suits them…
I’m really sorry for it, I can’t imagine that people are as dumb to profit of a very serious political event to make that and to act as hooligans!!!
It’s so stupid
Aww… thanks for the “wonderful” compliment.
I just can’t understand how people can destroy their own country for something that other people did… I guess it’s just some twisted braindead way of opportunism and lack of understanding and compassion for others.
I just hope everything gets sorted out soon, for the your and all the Serbian people’s benefits!
The saddest thing is… The guy who died in US embassy was Serbian refugee from Kosovo. Contrary to the popular belief, many Serbs had to leave Kosovo, their homeland, in 1999 and never got back. This young man’s grandmother was killed by Albanians and he had to get away with the rest of his family. While I don’t see burning an embassy as a good thing, his anger and despair could be understandable.
It’s those idiots who live safe with their families and do not know anything about their country or history, but hate Americans/Albanians/Croatians - those idiots make me mad. Go educate yourself, learn your own history. Do not destroy a beautiful building that belongs to your city just because McDonald’s is located inside, or steal sneakers and set trash bins on fire just because you’re angry.
Nemam reci za tu gomilu gluposti. Evo, cujem da su uhapsili te dve glupacice… Hodaju uokolo u zlatnim jaknicama i skupim ‘farkama’ i kao su siromasne? Ma daaaj…
A sad koliko tu politike ima ili nema… Brat moje drugarice sa fakulteta je bio u Beogradu, i video je nekog momka kako baca kamen na neku kucu, ne znam tacno. Prisao mu je policajac i rekao, “Decko, rekao sam da bacas na ONU stranu, ne tamo gde si ti bacio…”
Pa ti vidi da li je sve bilo iscenirano ili ne.
U svakom slucaju, najvece smo budale sto krademo sopstvenu drzavu i saljemo nadasve negativnu poruku svetu, dok pokusavamo da se prikazemo kao zrtve ili sta li vec. Ugh.
I’ve been longing to read your views on the matter for several days now (no life when the Internet was available, no Internet when my life was available :p). It’s always enlightening to know things from someone that is already there. I totally empathise with you (surprise-surprise) and (casually :p). I’m very proud (well, it’s a way of speaking) of the decision my country and my boyfriend’s have taken on the issue. I still have some hope and think things can still be talked over. I’m so naïve sometimes… I just really want you to leave in peace, without annoying hooligans around and without stupid reasons for them to play the fool.
I’ve been wondering what you would say about this. It’s not a just separation since it defies the sovereignty of the Serbian gov’t. The sovereignty of a country is contingent upon the recognition it receives from other countries. So, I can fully understand why they’d want to destroy the American embassy out of rage, since embassies are not considered part of Serbian territory but their own territory. There is, however, no excuse to destroying other embassies who have not voiced their opinion on this matter. And destroying McDonald’s is just a dimwitted act.
I am sure the mobs were initially comprised of those who understand the political implications of the matter. But as more people join in, it just became a riot for riot’s sake. That is just the nature of mob mentality.
It’s a very sad sight.
I feel obliged to say LOL now. You made me do it.
LOL!!!!
e pa nije u redu da tako pljujes klinca
bez ikakvog znANJA…
da je bila glupost sto su uradili jeste..
ali nije bio pijan mali ko sto velis…
i debilno je sto su to uradili ali njega makar mogu razumeti odakle takav bes i takvo glupo ponasanje..
on je proteran sa kosova bio..
pricaas sa toliko emocija o mkdonaldsu
ko da ti je druga kuca bio
e pa razmisli koliko bi stalozena bila da te je neeko isterao iz kuce i pritom verovatno maltretirao u periodu pre ili dok si odlazio..
da li bi bila razumna ??
citajuci tvoj blog ne bi reko…
sem tog komentara za njega se slazem sa postom..
a i onaj sto veli policija scenirala
to je jos jedna glupost..
najbolje da su isli i koordinirali..
i policajci su ljudi..
pritom ako nisu bili vecina nisu verovatno hteli da rizikuju svoje dupe radi toga da spasu neciju ambasadu i slicno..
daleko od toga da je to opravdano ali je realno..
cinjenica je da je bilo oko 1000 huligana u tom momentu (napad na americku ambasadu)
bilo je 50 nindza kornjaca u ulici pored…
verovatno jednostavno nisu hteli da rizikuju sebe a i verujem da je medju njima bilo ljutih koji su namerno ignorisali neke stvari..
sve u svemu zanimljiv ti je blog…
ali mi nije jasnos to si toliko negativna u postovima
pozdrav iz

You know, I read this entry and remembered what we had here in Ukraine in the end of 2004.
I was among people gathereing at the squares and protesting against president election. Everyday when I was going to stand there in the crowd I was expecting that this time some distruction may begin. I mean people wouldn’t be patient no more… But! I noticed that crowd was “self-organizing” itself. I mean if there was noticed someone drunk, shouting and being too active common men and women were cooling him down. And that is a well known quality of behavior in crowd.
What I am leading to is that these actions in Beograd were organized. I mean that it couldn’t happen if those people who made a damage to city’s centre were simple drunk-heads. I don’t live in Serbia, so don’t know who would get benefit from such actions, but I am pretty sure that it was planned and was made not randomly, but for some reason.
