A few days ago, a riot in Queretaro's main plaza broke out, with about 800 "hardcore rockers" and "metal heads", beating every "emo" kid they could find.

This is one that is a lot clearer about the attacks.

This disgusts me. There should be more police on patrol, everybody should feel safe going out.
People can be killed from this kind of stuff. Who do they think they are?
I think that this shows just how much our society is broken.
And how badly some teenagers can react.

This is completely ridiculous and unacceptable.

I'm not sure if this needs it's own thread tbh though....

And may I add that I feel sick right now? Just because of this I feel physically sick.

It makes me feel sick too.

A girl here got murdered recently for looking like a Goth.
It's not right at all.

But yeah, I'm not sure if it's needs a thread. "/

Why are they against emos? That's just really....sick. And then they have to resort to violence?! I am completely against violence and the unjust judgement of others, and I just really don't understand the fuel for the anti-emo movement. The people who are among the movement are really ignorant pigs who just can't accept someone for who they are and who they want to be. I feel so sad and sorry for the emos being attacked.

First, let me say thanks for putting this up. I'd heard about it a couple days ago, but didn't have time to hunt down the video for it.

Secondly, it just makes me so made that this happened, is still happening. Why would they go around and beat up people that they don't know or understand? It disgusting. People are getting way to extreme with this 'emo' stuff. Its just hair and clothes, its just how the person looks, I don't get why they would do that. The fact that they have to result to VIOLENCE over something so petty.... they are so ignorant for doing that. How many people do you think they hurt just because of a stupid ignorant thought, or opinion.... makes me sick.

This is sick. Discrimation against emos is no better then racism or homophobia. As long as it is not hurting anybody, one should be able to live their life the way they want, weather that be emo or anything else. Also, depression is a serious problem. Having suicidal thoughts is not something to be hated for. It makes me so mad when people feel the need to use violence against someone just because they don't dress or live their life the way they do! everyone is different! Get over it!

First off, emo is something. People who say emo is nothing, that makes me sick. If emo's nothing, then gangster's nothing and same with preppy and chavs..they're stereotypes.

No matter how much people punch,kick,spit,yell,die,cry,cutt,w/e, emos/stereotypes will exist. It's going to happen and even if you're against something, someone out there will disagree. People who even care about emos disgust me.

I'm not emo but i have emo friends and it's hilarious cause people will always be like
'are you emo?' but no one goes up to our school bully asking 'are you a chav?'. I find it sick and disturbing and it will never stop until humans are extinct which kicks me in the ass even more.

I'm find myself been disgusted by these horrible attacks.
People shouldn't be beat up because of the way they dress or what "label" you put them under.

In England they recently arrested some boys who attacked a young couple because of the way they dressed. The couple walked through a park on their way home, a group of boys started beating up the girl's boyfriend. When the girl begged them not to hut her boyfriend, they started beating her up. A 14 year old girl found them unconscious. The girl later died in the hospital. Her boyfriend when interviewed by the news said that he wished she had ran away and left him to die.

The people who attack others because of the way they dress are so very cruel. I don't see how they could do that to people.

I't the most disgusting thing I've ever herad! we shouldn't let things like this happen. I mean I'm not with emos, but this doesn't allow me to beat em up! Dammit.

I really thought that a great deal of people got oversuch things,,, besides.. they were just some kids. They don't know a thing about their future yet. They can do whatever they want, they can hate Emoness as much as they want. But violence isn't a solution.

a thousand apologies:

I think so, if nothing else so this gets to MCR's attention faster. This is something they should comment on since they've always spoke out publicly against violence of all sorts, especially hate-crimes.

What I find disgusting is all the Americans who are like "the war against emos is on," or "too bad this hasn't spread up north." I mean, the sorta things said against emos sound like the sort of things said by neo-nazis or the KKK against Jews and people of color.

What can I say, people are intolerant.

I hate this, I get shit everyday at school for being "emo" and it is retarded.
People who don't know me say shit cause I'm wearing eyeliner or whatever.
this is sickening, I mean it's not like a person who is "emo" doesn't deserve to live. i'm outraged by this and this fucking behavior needs to stop, excuse my language but i am outreaged, what right do these asses have to think they're god and kill somebody who looks different without knowing them. they are fucking nazis, and how far will this go? how mean kids need to get victiumized before someone stops this?

It's dispicable and completely unjust. A girl is murdered just because of her dress style/musical taste? She was still a human being and this is total discrimination, just like racism etc.

rrrrr Im angry...

I am locking this thread, the above post is not a valid reason to bump a thread that had not been posted in in 4 years.

Thanks
