Metallica Riot Prompts 160 Arrests

Metallica was once a band that I could get excited about, but then their last few albums became a pile of steaming excrement, with Death Magnetic sitting at the top like the King of Shit Mountain.

Apparently not everyone shares my feelings towards Metallica, as witnessed Wednesday night outside of their concert in BogotÃ¡, Colombia. Despite having military and police outside in anticipation of the ragefest that was sure to come, Columbians who were unable to get a ticket to the sold out show decided to force their way in, proving that making bad decisions is directly related to enjoying bad music.

Approximately 160 arrests were made, and about eight people were injured, as the authorities blasted the fans with water cannons and tear gas. (Video)

Officer Ruben Castillo stated:

“Those people that did not get in wanted to get in by force. The presence of police and riot teams was necessary because these misfits – there’s no other name for them – damaged some windows in the surrounding area.”

Misfits? No sir, The Misfits were a good band.

I’m guessing that all of the really excellent cocaine that is produced in Columbia had something to do with this, or maybe I just like to think that. If I lived in BogotÃ¡, I would no longer have a nose.
