CTV:
"They hit me with an electrical current and I fainted," player Isaias Perralta told Chilean media. "When I regained consciousness, I saw 10 police officers were hitting me and throwing acid in my face."
Certainly sounds plausible to me. Geez, you get your asses kicked by the Argentines, then the Toronto police? Maybe you should consider more congenial pursuits, like lawn bowling.
Don't make us send Marty McSorley down there.

Hey, did you see the photo in the paper of the poor darlin' that got tazered? I guess he's the won that was beaten by ten police and had acid thrown in his face . . . he looked pretty pink and healthy to me!

On top of being first-class losers, the Chileans turn out to be liars too.
I'm outraged at their outrage. What wimps. I'm sure Toronto police don't have access to acid, and if they did, they certainly wouldn't be throwing it in anyone's face.
This mentality is what you get from a culture that encourages "machismo," which means that males are spoiled rotten, put on pedestals, and get to save face any way they see fit. There's absolutely no accountability.
And we're seeing machismo played out to "perfection." 'Only problem is, this isn't South America, it's Canada.
Whoops. Oh yeah. It's Canada. The NEW Canada.
Do you think the Human Rights Commisars will take the side of the Chileans? "Poor babies. They're under 20, so we shouldn't be so hard on them. They're under 20, so they should be able to fight with Toronto's police and break the law, and no one should be upset."
My advice to the Chileans: Shut up, grow up, and get out of Canada. We don't need you here and would prefer it if you took your cry-baby machismo back to where it and you came from.

Something very strange happened with my post above. All by itself, the words "fit," "South America," and "babies" were underlined and highlighted and when you click on them, they link to gambling Web sites.
'Don't like it. 'Won't comment here again if this is what happens when one comments...

Thanks to Toronto Police the world knows now about Canada "side B".
Canada was not as peaceful as they wanted us to believe in Bowling for Columbine. And I don't think Canada will have another international level competition in Toronto for some years.
Nope, nope.

BATB: Please don't be alarmed. It's just one of my many advertising strategies that pays me off with many pennies each and every day. If I (or you) type in "vacation hotspots" or "gambling" the software might highlight it and provide a popup window for those inclined to explore the subject.
Do come back again -- I've seen your comments elsewhere, and you are infallibly eloquent and entertaining.
As far as the "acid" goes, I think that he was probably maced, which is what happens when you attack cops, especially of the female variety.
