Mexican Soccer Thugs Rioting In Las Vegas

The LVRJ: Pandemonium erupted as up to 400 rival soccer fans clashed during El Super Clasico pregame festivities Wednesday night, drawing more than 120 police officers to the scene and sending at least six people to the hospital.
Violence flared up again when the game ended about 10 p.m. when angry fans rushed the field, throwing bottles and cans.
According to Las Vegas police spokesman Bill Cassell, tension began building when fans from two rival Mexican soccer teams, Chivas Guadalajara and Club America, arrived at the stadium by bus about 6:45 p.m.
The mayhem ensued shortly thereafter.
Witnesses at the stadium on Russell Road near Broadbent Boulevard said the actual pregame fighting lasted about five minutes before police and emergency vehicles showed up to quell the situation.
Roughly 40 officers from Las Vegas police initially responded. The crowd began throwing rocks and bottles, and additional forces were summoned. Russell Road was closed at Boulder Highway as law enforcement worked to defuse the situation.
According to Cassell, an additional 80 officers from Las Vegas, Henderson, UNLV and park police responded....
Spurts of chaos marred the game, with fans setting off fireworks and tossing a flare onto the field.
The match ended with a Chivas 1-0 win, and fans again began to cause trouble, storming the field and resuming the fight that had started earlier.
No one was arrested and no officers were injured, Cassell added.
The fans weren’t the only ones who wanted to fight on Wednesday night.
Four players from the two teams were ejected during the match.  http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/crime-courts/pregame-soccer-melee-resumes-fans-clash-after-el-super-clasico
And from the Las Vegas Sun:
The brawl was only the beginning.
Less than an hour before the start of the heated match between Chivas and Club America, hundreds of Club America fans met a Chivas bus entering the Sam Boyd Stadium parking lot. Rocks the size of baseballs flew and bottles were thrown.
Minutes later, dozens of Metro Police cars flooded the entrance of Sam Boyd Stadium to separate the sea of yellow Club America fans from the sea of candy-striped Chivas fans. Six people were injured, including one Chivas fan whose blood blended with the red-and-white stripes on his jersey.
Thousands of fans were trapped outside the parking lot, and were forced to walk in from Boulder Highway after the game started. Yet the game marched on; it had a TV schedule to keep, game promoter Tim Luce said. He had no comment on refunds....
The parking lot brawl set the tone for a match that ended with fans flooding the field throwing beer bottles at each other and fighting. In the process, the match challenged the notion that Las Vegas could handle a Major League Soccer team.....
The brawl started simply out of hatred. The two teams have been rivals since 1943. Fans are taught to despise the other from the moment they are born.  Putting both teams in the same parking lot, with the same entrance was like mixing vinegar and baking soda.
Club America fan Gil Garcia described the rivalry plain and simple: “(It's) deadly. We don’t like each other.”...
Chivas fans blasted off fireworks in the stands; Club America fans tossed half-filled Bud Light bottles and streamers onto the field. Then came the fans. At first one or two trickled onto the field and were carried off.
Then came the flood. Fans overran the field. They threw beer bottles at each other, and kicked each other in the face.
According to police scanner traffic, a large crowd in the stands was throwing objects at officers tending to an injured fan. More officers were called in to deal with the perpetrators.
About 10:15, a "major fight" broke out in the stands that officers were alerted to.
At the end several fans were carried off by police bloodied and injured marking the end of another El Super Clasico.  http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2013/jul/03/major-pre-game-brawl-mars-mexican-soccer-event-out/#axzz2XpGr1dLO
A couple of thoughts. 
First, no arrests?  Why.
Second, this reminds me of the NBA All Star game in 2007 where rioting occurred on the Strip.   http://www.8newsnow.com/story/6109396/weekend-violence-mars-nba-all-star-experience
I don't think Las Vegas is capable of handling a major professional team, especially in basketball and soccer.
Finally, how many people rioting were here in this country illegally?  While insensitive, it has to be asked and it also may explain why cops didn't make any arrests.
It does show one thing though, Mexican soccer can be just as thuggish as European, especially British soccer fans.
