San Fermin, Running of the Bulls, even more Beer

This Monday was the start of the San Fermin Fiesta, which to most non Spanish is all about running with the bulls, this is the most insane and stupid even anyone in their right mind wouldn't consider, these bulls weigh up to 600-800 Kgs, and run far faster than a human, why do it?, to prove your manhood, or just stupidity, I think the latter is more the reason, these bulls that run are chosen so not to be aggressive but most injuries occur with folks just falling over each other and getting run over by the bulls, The worst aspect of all this is the huge amount of alcohol being drunk, just insane, it is called the "Chupinatzo", translated it means sucking alcohol until you fall over, these people just go crazy, drinking from 12 noon and then for 24 hours basically, the streets run with rivers of urine. Then all the clowns want to start fighting, my colleagues were out taking a leisurely drink as most Italians do and found themselves confronted by a stinking drunk Spanish clown, he just wanted to fight but was too drunk to be a danger, he had been fighting many times and had a beating but still wanted to fight everyone.

Fighter




Drunkeness




Running with the bulls is Dangerous
