Why do violence and tragedy always land on Liverpool fans?

On May 26, a large number of fans flocked to the city center of Liverpool in the UK to celebrate Liverpool's winning of the Premier League championship this season. Suddenly, a 53-year-old local white man drove straight into the celebratory crowd, injuring nearly 50 people, 27 of whom were sent to the hospital and two were seriously injured. Police have arrested the suspect but say the car crash has nothing to do with terrorism.

Deputy Commissioner of Merseyside Police Department, Jenny Sims, where Liverpool is located, said at a press conference that the initial judgment of the billiard fans was a "isolated incident" and the police did not believe it was related to terrorism.

Liverpool have been confirmed to win the Premier League this season last month, and they officially won the trophy in the final round of the league on May 25. On the 26th, a public holiday, hundreds of thousands of fans rushed to the streets to celebrate. Witnesses claimed that the bus carrying the players had just passed the crime scene about 10 minutes before the incident.

Liverpool Councilman Liam Robinson said the incident "blacked a very dark shadow on the city's happy day".

Yes, the shadow of violence and tragedy has been shrouded on Liverpool fans for nearly half a century, and it cannot be removed...

Two days left are the 40th anniversary of the Heisel tragedy. On May 29, 1985, in the final of Juventus and Liverpool in Brussels, British extreme fans rushed into Zone Z to find Italians: a terrible stampede occurred, killing 39 people and injuring more than 600 people. Afterwards, the English team was banned from participating in the European Cup three for five years.

Overwhelmed, collapsed, and suffocated. 40 years ago, the 39 unfortunate victims went to the Heisel Stadium in Brussels, Belgium to watch the finals of Juventus and Liverpool, but never returned home. Among the dead were 32 Italians, 4 Belgians, 2 Frenchmen and 1 Northern Ireland. Many of the injured left permanent physical and mental trauma. The

competition is scheduled to be held at 8:15 pm. At about 7:20 pm, Liverpool extreme fans rushed from the designated stands into the adjacent Z Zone. The area was originally reserved for neutral fans, but in fact, it was crowded with Italians. Many people buy tickets from scalpers, while others buy tickets through legal channels. The British fan zone and Z zone were separated by a simple barbed wire fence, but the fence soon collapsed. The British invaded Zone Z and looked for Juventus fans to beat them. The conflict triggered a stampede – a fatal stampede. The walls collapse under pressure and many people fall or jump into the gap below. Some people fell to the ground and could no longer stand up. They were squeezed and trampled by the panicked crowd until they died. After the incident, the gates on the fenced edge of the court were not opened immediately and people could not be evacuated from the court. The police did not even intervene because the few police officers at the scene were unable to intervene. When the reinforcements arrived, they began to attack everyone indiscriminately. Among the Italians in District

Z include Roberto Lorentini, 31, a doctor from Arezzo. Lorentini and his father Othello had already reached safety, but he saw a lifeless child and ran to him and helped him with a heart massage to wake him up. At this time, the panicked crowd rushed over and trampled Lorentini and Andrea Kasura to death. Andrea Kasura, 11, is from Cagliari and is the youngest victim of the Heisel tragedy. In honor of Lorentini, he was awarded the Silver Citizen Medal.

The game was still held due to the order of the schedule. It is said that managers at the time believed that letting tens of thousands of fans leave the court suddenly trigger a very complicated situation. The best way to do this is to keep the game going so that tension can be alleviated. Juventus won 1:0 and Platini scored a penalty. It was a "generous" penalty kick, and the Liverpool player's foul against Bonek actually happened outside the penalty area. On the court, Juventus players celebrated their victory, and after many years, almost everyone was ashamed of it, but they argued that the severity of the disaster was unclear before the game began and that the news was scattered, with some players being told that only one person died. "I don't know that trophy, I didn't win it. They forced us to play, but we shouldn't celebrate, I apologize for it." The Kings Boduan Stadium (Old Heisel Stadium) was completed in 1930 and by 1985 the facilities were dilapidated and no longer meet the safety standards of the European Three Cup finals. Liverpool fans are drunk and possess weapons. The inefficient security efficiency and insufficient forecasting of the situation together led to this tragedy. In the book "The Truth of the Heisel Massacre" by Francisco Carremani, the witness Danilo Bartolozi said: "People from Liverpool have guns, scissors, knives and iron rods. They killed a boy with a rocket launcher, and I witnessed it with my own eyes. Since no one was searched at the entrance, they were able to bring everything in. They were drunk, almost everyone was drunk, and I had never seen beer cans thrown down one by one."

After a long legal process, the Belgian judicial system made the final judgment: 9 football hooligans were sentenced to four years in prison and fined 60,000 francs, and the other three were sentenced to five years in prison. The then secretary of the Belgian Football Association was also sentenced for allowing Italian fans to enter Zone Z, and a policeman was sentenced.

believes that after the Heisel tragedy, then British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher cracked down on violence in British stadiums, was wrong. Mrs. Thatcher did not lead the introduction of targeted laws in 1985 to intervene. The relevant laws were introduced after the Hillsborough tragedy in 1989.. That was another tragedy related to Liverpool fans. Liverpool and Nottingham Forest met in the FA Cup semi-finals that year, and the game was held at the neutral Sheffield Hillsborough Stadium. Due to the structural problems of the stadium and the chaotic organizational order, 5,000 Liverpool fans failed to enter the court after the game started. The police opened the door but did not provide necessary guidance, causing 5,000 people to flock to the same stands, causing serious stampede casualties, 96 people were killed and more than 200 were injured.
