True - well not the 2 folks arrested part- but the no thugs in Europe part. Im sure everyone knows there has traditionaly been a problem with hooligans at soccer events. They got past this by having a large police presence to deter such actions.
Heres a quote on Vegas law enforcement from Al Harrington
"The biggest thing about Vegas is that there's no police. ... I lived out there for two months this summer and I probably saw one cop car, so it's a free-for-all. ... If people want to come in and start trouble, they've got a free pass because the only security or police is in the casinos. Anything outside, do whatever you want."
An event on this scale without adequate policing? Not a good idea. But the number of incidents are NOT out of proportion in any shape or form. Yet dude keeps making threads about it.....
