"Armed robberies, organised crime, assaults on banks and money transport vehicles, grand theft auto, murders, massive riots, kidnappings, ransoms, arson, biker-gangs and vandalism. To add insult to injury, on 1st February 2012 a massive massacre was committed by some fanatical supporters of a football team against their guest rivals. Around 79 people were killed and 1300 injured, most of whom were from the visiting team. This is not part of the 1970s Clint Eastwood "Dirty Harry" movie series or Charles Bronson's "Death Wish". This just happened in Egypt, a country well- known for her peaceful nature and the safety of her streets throughout most of its modern history." Excerpt from Egypt's Arab Spring: The Long and Winding Road to Democracy by Hany Ghoraba (2013).
