Choose any time which would suit you better. The only condition is that it should be part of the existing history.

"Soccer referee decapitated after stabbing player to death in Brazil"

What the shit. That is incredible.

"Fisherman disemboweled after jetpack malfunction deemed racist by onlooking circus midget breakdancers."

This.
Is.
Amazing.

Soccer is serious business.

those muslims just can't behave themselves, fucking animals

what was the score?

Those fans deserve a yellow card.

Why couldn't it have been Howard Webb? He was in Brazil at the time.

Oh wow. Fucking disgusting.

I am outraged because this happened at a soccer game.

IT'S FOOKIN FOOTBALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

This year a referee was sucker punched and killed in Utah by a 17 year old player who was given a yellow card. It was third time he had been assaulted on the job, getting ribs broken one time and a leg broken in another. This shit can happen anywhere, but the major factor is how much official oversight is given. That Utah incident for instance was during an unofficial and unsanctioned game and the refs were likely paid on the spot.

I've officiated soccer games on and off from 10 years, mostly for youth games, but also as linesman for a very competitive adult league in Austin. I've seen many player fights, a full-on brawl between teams, and a referee almost get assaulted (the player was tackled before he hit the ref) and know of a couple that occurred last year. Every single time players are fined and suspended for yellow and red cars, and Texas actually has laws specifically pertaining to assaults on sports officials. Legal structure like that prevents a lot of fights and punishes those who commit such acts. As I said earlier worst incidents occur more often than not in unsanctioned leagues because there is no oversight.

While I would no less shocked and disturbed by the brutal mob killing of the ref, I would be more so if the referee had been completely innocent. I have to speculate about whether he still would of been assaulted if he didn't pull his knife out and stab the player he red-carded. The fact that he was packing a weapon indicates something was amiss in that local community's soccer league to begin with. Found a blog from a local of Pio XII and skimming it reveals how tragic it really is. This is just a typical rural Brazilian town. Mob violence is disturbing, especially over something as irrationally needless as the fate of a fucking sports match.

No, it's part of it though. The difference between say, a public stabbing during a confrontation resulting in a person being either left alone or tackled and restrained by bystanders until police arrive called versus a crowd stoning, decapitation, and quartering of a man by a mob is the context. Religious or political furor, or the setting of a prison or riot is usually when such spontaneous mob brutality occurs. Here it was a fucking soccer game. I have no idea what the motivations of the referee and player were exactly either. This particular incident is just a clusterfuck overall.

The statement issued this week says Abreu's friends and relatives immediately "rushed into the field, stoned the referee to death and quartered his body."

I can partly relate to the fact they actually killed him in a kind of affective way, but decapitating and dismembering is way to brutal. But then i don't really know how things like this are handled over in Brazil...
