A free gig at Costa Rica's San Jose Universidad Latina went badly wrong this weekend when something like 8,000 people turned up for a 5,000 capacity event. The 3,000 who didn't get in quickly turned disappointment into action, with destructive results, as YouTube videos captured:
The violence of the reaction has taken many aback; the destruction of a University (and, oh yes, a nearby church) seeming to many Costa Ricans to being a little out of proportion for missing a few bands. The conclusion, therefore, has to be that this wasn't about the gig, but something else entirely.
Probably angry Scots, finally getting our own back for losing to Costa Rica at Italia 90. That'll learn em.
