LANEUX - Groups of Bai Lungese burnt cars and trashed Japanese-themed businesses on the streets of Laneux following a World Cup hockey game between Bai Lung and Kelssek.

Some fights broke out in the arena between Bai Lung supporters during the game, with police being alerted after several Bai Lungese men apparently engaged in a knife fight following the conclusion of the game, which Bai Lung lost 5-3. Three Bai Lung nationals were treated at hospital for stab wounds.

Fistfights between Bai Lungese and Kelssekians also broke out, with some witnesses saying the Bai Lungese hurled ethnic slurs. One man also claimed that his shoes were stolen. According to Place Gauchetiere staff, several seats were also damaged.

However, it was upon leaving the arena that rioting erupted, with gangs of supporters reportedly venting their anger, setting fire to Japanese-brand cars and attacking a nearby Japanese restaurant. Fights also broke out with patrons at a gay bar on avenue Louis-Desjardins when a gang of Bai Lungese allegedly broke into the establishment. The KBC also reported that chairs and barstools, thought to have been grabbed from the restaurant, were thrown at police.

Bai Lungese society is known for strong homophobia and anti-Japanese feelings, rooted in a conservative outlook and resentment over past wars with and occupation by Japan.

Over a thousand arrests were made by police over the course of the night. Backup from the National Mounted Police had to be called as the riot threatened to spiral out of control, but order was eventually restored by about 2am. Twelve police officers and over thirty civillians were injured.

According to Laneux’s police force, the SPVL, 178 charges will be laid as a result of the violence, including two players from the team who could face aggravated assault charges after they allegedly attacked Bai Lung coach Kim Dong Wen with their hockey sticks, leaving him in hospital with unspecified head injuries. Pak Chi Wu and Wang Ri Dang reportedly were upset after Kim blamed them for Kelssek’s fourth goal, a Colin Calderwood slap shot from the blue line which went in after taking a deflection off Pak Chi Wu’s arm. Calderwood’s goal, his second of the tournament, gave Kelssek a 4-3 lead and would prove to be the game-winner. The result also meant that Bai Lung were eliminated from the World Cup.

The Bai Lung government was quick to issue an apology over the incident, with acting Interim Administrator Chiba Seto writing to Prime Minister Pierre Gautain early this morning. Bai Lung media reported that he offered reparations for the damage caused and called for the rioters to be severely punished by the Kelssek government.

Dear PM Pierre Gautain,

First and foremost, I would like to offer you a belated congratulations for being the 19th PM of Kelssek. May your career as leader of a strong, developed nation be successful and prosperous. Democracy will still be the core ingredient to a highly developed nation like Kelssek and it is the right of the public to vote for their government.

I would like to engage in some talks with you on the 5th of March in regards to relations between the two of us. It would be an honor if you simply said yes to my offer. It would be a genuine pity if it is conflicting with your schedule and perhaps we can re-schedule it to suit both our needs.

As exciting as the democratic transition which the Free Republic of Bai Lung is starting to adopt, there are a few issues which still arises within Bai Lungese society; gratuitous violence and prejudice. The riots in Laneux, Kelssek on the 16th February saw both of these examples. On that day, around over 9,500 fans of the Bai Lung National Hockey team also known as The Oldboys attended a hockey game where the aforementioned team fought against your team. As you know, the former lost out.

The Oldboys losing the match isn’t my main objection, it was the fans and how they behaved in the arena. The fans could have left the arena peacefully and quietly. None of these happened on the day. In fact, some members of the crowd of an undetermined number, chose to destroy a number of chairs they are sitting on, lob stones at their rival fans and shout racist language at their direction.

To add further insult to injury, the Kelssekian fans are defenceless yet many Bai Lungese fans brandished knives and attempted to callously stab as many of their rival fans in the shortest time possible.

Contrary to what people may think of me, I abhor all forms of violence and intimidation, no matter how angry or frustrated I may get. I will solve the most difficult of dilemmas through dialogue and not with knives. Me, like with the rest of us law abiders, consider taking away innocent lives is downright brutal and malicious and simply does not solve any problems other than to create another one.

Those so-called fans who incited the riot in the Place Gauchetiere arena aren’t even deemed fans by my books. They are merely opportunistic thugs, many of them violent criminals with a long history of violent crimes. They simply pretend to be fans but in reality they only serve one purpose: to control the lives of others through violent means. They want to tell others what food they should only eat, what clothes they should wear only and what language they should only speak. The list spirals down into sheer incredulity and insanity.

That didn’t end there. The riot continued outside the ice rink and those very same thugs attacked any establishments which have LGBT and/or Japanese themes in them. Being part Japanese myself, I am deeply offended by this, as it paints a very dull picture of what the world currently thinks of the Bai Lungese race as a whole.

I thought my people have gone through the period of anti-Japanese bigotry, especially of this day and age. It seems that this isn’t the case and the resentment towards the Japanese and gays continues to spread through generation to generation, whether they be young and old, male or female. It is an issue which still remains to be resolved within Bai Lungese society and nobody wants to bring up the issue. In fact, just about every problem in Bai Lung is judged by face value. If it don’t look good, burn it!

Of those 9,500 plus fans who have attended the Place Gauchetiere arena, I’ve received reports from local media that a little over 5,000 were detained by the police but other news media have reported only 1,000. I would assume that not all of the rioters came from the arena itself but many more congregated in bars. What ever the case it maybe, I condemn their acts of destruction.

I fully commend the efficiency of your police force. They have responded very quickly to an emergency and have successfully brought all riots to a stop in merely hours, something which would have otherwise took an entire day to bring peace into the streets. I’m not saying that all the fans are thugs but there is a ridiculous number of them and we need to keep them out of the streets, whether it be yours or my streets.

I would like to express my most heartfelt apology to those who were deeply affected by Saturday’s riot. It was an unfortunate incident which should never have happened in the first place and for that reason, I would like to offer compensation of at least BL$200 million to make up for the carnage caused by these ruthless, anti-social reprobates.

I am sorry for the extreme carnage caused by my people and I hope it does not affect the overall image of my country and of my people. Despite what I mentioned about my people passing racist and homophobic ideas to the next generation, most of us are peaceful, tolerant and friendly. It is the widely reported minority extremists who commit acts of terror. Like I’ve said a couple times in this letter, they are a minority but their numbers are extensive. They are esentially ticking time bombs that are ready to go off when they feel like it.

On behalf of the entire nation of Bai Lung, we are sorry.

On behalf of my cabinet, we are sorry.

Yours sincerely.

Chiba Seto, Acting Interim Administrator of Bai Lung.

Dear Sir,

You have my most sincere gratitude for your kind words and wishes. It is with honour that I invite you to visit Kelssek, and I look forward very much to meeting you on March 5.

I have long felt a great sympathy for the people of Bai Lung and the troubled times they are enduring, and it is heartening that leaders such as yourself are dedicated towards the establishment of a robust civil society there. I hope to discuss ways my government can aid your efforts to bring Bai Lung the peace, progress and stability that it deserves.

I share your regret at the unfortunate events which took place in Laneux and I appreciate very much your apology for them. As to your offer of compensation, I gladly accept it, but I hope you will kindly allow me to donate the full amount towards the development of education and infrastructure in Bai Lung.

Once again, I look forward to meeting you in Neorvins and to the further discussion of this and other issues.

Sincerely,
Pierre Gautain
Prime Minister of Kelssek

Dear PM Pierre Gautain,

I’m pleased to inform you that the BL$200 million in cash will be delivered at the same time which I will make my historic visit to the nation of Kelssek. To help promote the publicity, the money will be ‘delivered’ with a big novelty cheque written personally to you. Do not worry about currency conversions as my colleague, the Secretary of Treasure Mr Li An Ying and his team are ensuring that every last BL cent will be converted into loonies.

As you may or may not be aware, a few of my colleagues are showing disapproval of my leadership as they are convinced that I’m to blame for the riots in Laneux last week. Their claims are not true as you and I know, the riot happened as a result of a chain of events. My two colleagues are simply using fear mongering tactics to depose me from office before I make the historic visit.

I will be very enthusiastic to meeting you when I make my historic visit to Neorvins to discuss bilateral relations between the two of us.

Yours sincerely.

Chiba Seto, Acting Interim Administrator of Bai Lung.

Pak Chi Wu and Wang Ri Dang officially charged with manslaughter. Mr Wang attempts to commit suicide.

Players of the Oldboys, Pak Chi Wu and Wang Ri Dang have been formally charged for the murder of coach Kim Dong Wen by the police force of Kelssek.

On the 16th Feb, Pak (25) and Wang (20) assaulted the 65 year old with their hockey sticks after their coach blamed them for attributing to Kelssek’s victory. Mr Kim was sent to hospital for head injuries but died in hospital a week later when his injuries lead to further complications.

Relatives of Mr Kim have left the hospital where Mr Kim had died but none of them were in the mood for commenting. The family spokesman has openly condemned the two players for their gratuitous behaviour on the ice rink,

Mr Pak’s lawyer, Hsing Bao Tae, has defended his client by claiming that Mr Kim’s head injuries were caused by falling on the floor as a result of a heart attack. He went as far as to show a record of Mr Kim’s health record to police.

Mr Wang’s lawyer gave a similar story. Ding Il Shui claims that Mr Kim’s history of heavy smoking and drinking attributed to his heart attack and his subsequent death. Mr Wang was taken to a nearby hospital after an attempt to drown himself with the police station’s toilet. Doctors have said that Mr Wang’s condition is not life threatening and has discharged him from the hospital the following day.

The police are continuing to examine all CCTV footage of the arena on that day. They have also appealed to all witnesses who have attended the game at the time to come forward and give their account of the incident.

Dear PM Pierre Gautain,

Due to the rioting in For’af, Dannistaan, my visit to Kelssek will be delayed by a few hours as I need some time to give advice to PM P’aanil F’orrlason-Smith and his cabinet in how to deal with the ongoing riots, which has left several hundreds brutally murdered by East Dannistrian racists.

You might be aware that a large number of immigrants from Dannistaan have sailed to your country to seek refuge. It would be of great help if you give all the migrants free check ups, to see if they contracted any deadly diseases.

I just want to make sure that your hospitality would be beneficial and welcoming to my people before I make my historic visit to Kelssek on the 5th of March.

Yours sincerely.

Chiba Seto, Acting Interim Administrator of Bai Lung.

Dear Mr. Chiba,

I fully understand the circumstances and I am happy to accomodate your needs. The stability of Bai Lung and Dannistaan both affect the entire region and the needs of your own people are of course paramount.

Those applying for immigration through the normal channels will have had completed health screenings before having their applications approved. I regret, however, that except for those being considered for refugee claims, providing such screenings at point of entry, especially to so large a group, may not be possible. I hope you understand that I likewise am bound by the laws of my nation, but I do promise that all effort will be made to ensure all with valid claims are accepted.

Once again, I look forward to our meeting.

Sincerely,

Pierre Gautain
Prime Minister of Kelssek
