    Once Again Alcohol Cause of Massive Killings...

    Seems more of this outrageously overabused drug is killing yet more people in more infamous news stories at an alarming rate:

    12 dead in stampede at Mexico nightclub - Yahoo! News




    12 dead in stampede at Mexico nightclub


    By JAIME A. ZEA, Associated Press Writer 15 minutes ago

    MEXICO CITY - Panicked youths rushed for the exits during a police raid on a Mexico City nightclub on Friday, leaving at least 12 people dead in the crush of bodies, the capital's police chief said.
    Chief Joel Ortega said three police officers and nine youths, at least three of them minors, were killed. At least 13 others were injured.
    Police went to the News Divine club in the working-class district of Nueva Atzacoalco in the early evening to check reports of drugs and alcohol being sold to minors.
    Ortega told the Televisa network the club's owner announced to the crowd that the officers were there to arrest them, causing a stampede. He denied earlier media reports that officers threw tear gas inside the club, and also said no shots were fired.
    At a news conference later Friday, Ortega said about 500 young people — more than the club's capacity — were there to celebrate the end of the school year and many more were waiting in line to get in.
    Clubs in Mexico often host afternoon "tardeada" parties for clubbers as young as 16, though only patrons 18 and up are allowed to drink alcohol.
    Ortega said the venue had a single entrance plus an emergency exit, which was obstructed by cases of beer.
    "Many of the people concentrated at the club's emergency exit, but it was too small and it was there that people died of asphyxia," Ortega told Televisa.
    Television images showed glittery high-heel shoes and T-shirts strewn over the dance floor. Bodies covered with white sheets lay by the club's entrance.
    Ortega said the club, which charged a cover of US$3, was closed down last year due to several safety and other violations, but the owner won an injunction and reopened the place.
    Police detained 39 people including the owner, he added.
    Dozens of riot police were sent to control a crowd of sobbing relatives and friends that gathered at the scene.




    God forbid the day when one of us might be forced to live atop a nightclub or pub serving this questionable beverage.

    Nothing to do with alcohol, more to do with heavy handed police tactics causing panic.

    The way the 'new posts' function displayed this thread on my screen it appeared to read:

    Which sounded somewhat painful!

    What's worse is the drinking madmen drifters who typically own these places, don't mind getting shortchanged as they're a bit slow at times, and live in the bars and clubs and want to kill the birds next door for making too much noise for example...

    Just my theory. No pun intended.

    Really alcohol not the cause, Main cause is uncontrolled and undisciplined young people that have had no directions given when growing up and just do as they fucking well want,, Just like the younger people here in Thailand, this place and Mexico are on a parallel for a disaster when the next generation that has not a clue takes over.
    The only thing they have been taught is "Respect wealth and the wealthy, and make sure those below you show you proper respect"

    Now thats a fuck of a thing to say,
    Here we are putting young people thru the schools and then graduating them almost illiterate because classes are over loaded and teachers ain't got time to teach the kids what they are there to teach,, R+R+R,, and you think that the teachers are supposed to also teach the things that parents for centurys have been teaching their kids, And should be prepared to teach them when they get a hard on or plan on having kids. Social Graces and Logical thinking are not school subjects.
