Not that I have a valid opinion about it since I don’t live there, but seeing the images of chaos, wild partying, and even the melee-style fistfights, it all appears extremely healthy to me. It’s a reminder that there are still human beings out there who want to live, and have been holding it all in for a year and now get to release it. People still want to drink and brawl, and will flout the local tyrant in order to engage in it.
I get the same feeling when I see someone smoking a pack outside the 7/11.
It’s refreshing to see people who don’t have a philosophical stick up their backside and just want to live.
