Parade Organizers Solve Violence Issues

Regarding the KC Star's ridiculous coverage of the Parade:

Following Ireland's main St Patrick's Day parade in Dublin last year there was terrible violence on the streets of the city centre and a huge number of arrests. To solve the problem for this year, parade organizers cancelled the unseasonably warm weather which had showcased last year's parade, and was so enjoyed by Irish families and Irish thugs.

Instead this year extra cold temperatures were ordered along with some biting March rain. Although there were incidents of violence after the parade and maybe three dozen arrests, the police said it was no more than what occurs on an ordinary Friday in Dublin.
