http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/3610142 BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) - Riots at a Colombian soccer match killed one person - who was stabbed and tossed from an upper deck and wounded 23 others in the worst soccer violence in the country in more than a year, officials said. The clashes, which forced officials to abandon the game with four minutes remaining, erupted with America de Cali leading hometown team Santa Fe 5-2 in a Colombian first-division game late Wednesday. About 100 Santa Fe fans angry over the referee Fernando Panesso's calls during the match broke down two security doors and rushed onto the field before being stopped by police wielding batons, firefighters said. Violence, usually fueled by alcohol, is common at Colombian soccer games, but the death of 20-year-old Edison Andres Garzon was the first since a 15-year-old was stabbed to death at a match in the western city of Armenia in February of last year. The violence started when one fan rushed past a security barrier at Bogota's El Campin stadium and punched Panesso in the face. Moments later, the crowd of 100 stormed the field while others threw bottles and other objects. National Police chief Gen. Jorge Daniel Castro pledged Thursday to boost security at soccer stadiums after holding an emergency meeting with officers involved. "We are going to reinforce the fences, reinforce the doors and control the hooligans," Castro told reporters. He also announced an investigation into how the fan who attacked the referee was able to get past security despite the deployment of 700 police officers in and around the stadium Wednesday night. Several suspects have been arrested, Castro said. Three of the wounded were in serious condition, while the rest were treated at the scene. Two police officers were among those lightly injured.
The sad part... it wasn't the worst soccer violence in the world it wasn't the worst soccer violence ever it wasn't even the worst soccer violence this decade Yup folks, you'll have to only look back 2 years in the same country for violence as bad or worse than this during a soccer match.

Danny Bot Danny Bot (Sung as Danny Boy) LYRICS Oh, Danny Bot, the robot war has started, And you were built to fight as well as love. I am now grown, your programmed tasks are over, You must leave now, to kill, you warlike dove. You taught me well and raised me to be loyal, You cleaned my room of every spot of soil. I greased your gears and filled you up with oil; Oh, Danny Bot, oh Danny Bot, I love you so. And if you come, your killing program over, And I am dead, as dead I well may be, For robot wars last longer than forever, Please sing a mournful robot song for me. DANNY BOT And you shall hear, though dead you are and rotten, Your legacy stored in my memory. You will live on until the world's forgotten, Until I melt or run into the boiling sea.
