Tormenta eléctrica,  España, Madrid, Arganda del Rey

A bull gored a woman to death Thursday at a Spanish bull run spectacle, emergency services said.

The 48-year-old victim was a spectator who had come to watch men run alongside bulls in Arganda del Rey near Madrid, dpa reported.

She leant through bars forming a protective wall to see better, when one of the bulls then gored her in the neck, killing her instantly.

Police were investigating whether the spectacle met security norms.

Five people have been killed at Spanish bull spectacles - other than bullfights - so far this year.

Elnur763 is based in Baku, Bakı, Azerbaijan, and is a Stringer for Allvoices.

Did I read a few weeks back about another bull jumping into a crowd of people in Spain and killing some folks?

What is enjoyable about torturing bulls?

I did some research on bull fights and found out that the bull's testicles are squeezed in knot to put it in a frenzy and after the bull is killed (the climax of the fun, family spectator event), they cut off the testicles and keep them for souvenirs.

What's that about?

Hey, that sounds familiar... Oh, yeah, that's very similar to "Negroes" being lynched. A custom in lynchings is to cut off the penis of the Black man for a souvenir...and they usually did it at a "pic-a-ni--er"...or, later shortened to "picnic."

Okay...now the coup de grace...

The bull fight is actually symbolic of the Europeans in Spain (finally) defeating the Moors and kicking them out after more than 700 years of rule. The bull...the big, black bull is the Moor. The cape being used represents the red Moorish flag...how you know this is true is b/c bulls are color-blind. So why does the cape need to be red..?

...that also explains why they kill the bull and that this is the climax of the (barbaric) event. This is a ritual Spaniards perform regularly to commemorate finally breaking from Moorish control.

It seems like the "bull" is finally starting to fight back...

If you still have any doubts as to the veracity of these facts...notice the similarities in the "souvenir" dept...peace!
