Don’t Mess With the Popo

A Red Star Belgrade fan was sentenced to 10 years in jail on Friday after being found guilty of attempted murder. Uros Misic, 20 used a flare to attack a member of the popo during a Serbian first division match last December. The attack was so vial it qualified for attempted murder instead of the usual assault.

"The assault was also completely unprovoked and…Trajkovic was fighting for his life out there. The punishment is fitting and it is a message that there will be zero tolerance for such acts," judge Velimir Lazovic remarked.
According to the reports Misic inflicted multiple burns tothe surface of Nebojsa Trajkovic’s body and later tried to force the flare down the poor man’s throat. The officer fired shots into the air in self-defense. How deranged must one person be to committ such an act?

Two other fans who were involved in the incident Milos Zimonja and Slavisa Drakul were convicted of violent assault and sentenced to up to one year in jail.

Watch out Uros, Milos and Slavisa, because the popo are on your tail!
