“It's a fool’s weekend. The jails are constantly full.”

Today is All Saints Day, a holiday widely observed by various denominations of Christianity around the world. It's also a bank holiday in Sweden, which means people take off from work around noon on the eve (as I found out by attempting to visit a bank branch at 2pm yesterday). Customarily, Alla Helgons Dag is a somewhat solemn affair, observed by laying wreaths and lighting memorial candles to honor the dead.

And then there's the way it is observed in parts of Sweden.

I can make no informed comment on the mass of the miscreants involved in the events described above, but it is a long-established principle in the Western Canon that drunk and stupid is two-thirds of no way to go through life.
