I have chosen to comment on this article because I think it´s worrying how teenagers loose control of themselves when they go to discos and drink too much alcohol.
I´ve read on El Dia newspaper that the last weekend three people were send to hospital after violent riots which have taken place in different discos in La Plata, Province of Buenos Aires.
The first event happened at noon last Saturday at a famous disco and ended in one of the most crowded avenues of the city, resulting in two injured teens.
According to the news, there were twenty minutes of punches, kicks and runs at the exit of the disco registered by a security camara. Then they continue fighting in the middle of the avenue dangerously avoiding the cars which were passing through.
One of the injured is still at the hospital while the other has scaped!
The second event was in other disco of the same city. A security guard was severely hit on his head and face after he didn´t allowed ten young rugbiers to get into it due to he suspected they were drunk. The aggressors were send to prison.

Wooow. This definitely presents a huge problem. What's going on in La Plata to cause this? And also, can I ask you--do teenagers here have the same problems with aggression when they're not at a disco, say when they're drinking beer outside of a kiosk?
ReplyDeleteI ask because teenagers where I'm from don't go to discos--nightclubs are reserved for the 21 and older crowd and are often only found in cities--but nonetheless, huge fights break out (like the one you wrote about!) even at house parties among friends. Especially in college, when many students drink excessive amounts of alcohol, it's perfectly normal to see people hitting one another with baseball bats and hockey sticks on your walk home.
I have more questions-- not that you have to answer them all! But how long did the aggressors stay in prison? Do you think the discos in La Plata will change their security procedures as a result of these incidents?
Thanks for sharing! See you soon~~
