Even in New Zealand we have youth stealing vehicles and trying to run from the Police, or starting riots, or just gang attacking people for the fun of it. This isn't just in New Zealand, most countries have these sort of thing happening, some in worst cases others much less. And most times it's due to boredom and lack of parental supervision. They want to rebel and to get a rush any way they can.
Maybe I ought to start reading New Zealand news then. Any relevant links you might want to share?
But it's not only just stealing vehicles, but stealing ones with military-grade weaponry in Aqua that I find hard to believe. The first bomber you fight in AQ2 is a stolen ATL-Gorgon bomber with its turret missing, about to tear the Lima 2 station to pieces. Even with that missing component, it's still carrying a Doom Mortar--mucho-dangerous
military-grade weaponry, as opposed to the civilian-standard Vendetta guns that the others have--this is the fictional equivalent of someone stealing a fully-loaded and fuelled M1 Abrams tank and using it to destroy a small city. Does the Neopolis military have no security around its ships? You even fight an intoxicated NeoYuppie in AQ1 with a fully-functional ATL-Gorgon too--I believe his name is "Randis Albion" and he's supposedly so intoxicated he fires randomly.
I'm still curious as to how Freeman stole Flint's Succubus from AQ1--an experienced mercenary like himself really should know to secure his ship better.

Pardon me, what's the occasion then? I know football games in Europe really tend to attract violent hooligans (and the riots they throw) but what happens in Berlin on May 1?
