Outraged soccer fan shoots player dead, in the middle of the game!

Sometimes the audiacity of humankind baffles my pacifist mind.

Reutuers reports, "An Iraqi soccer fan shot dead a player of the opposing team as he tried to score an equalizing goal in the final minutes of a match, police said on Monday."

Iraq's surprise victory in the 2007 Asian Cup brought rare joy and unity to the shattered nation, and had many beleive that the sport would unify the nation's Suni and Shi'ite population.

Unfortunately that was not the case on Monday. Apparently the man shot the player when it looked like he would score a goal against the arsonist's team.

The man was immediately arrested but the player died!

Just another reason I am against guns. People might kill people, but guns sure do help.
