It is an America of all composition of citizens, unbelonging to any race.  The shame is in mobs beating innocent people, punching women, hurting children, attacking police.  In any context it's unacceptable and requires an obligation for prevention by the constrains of justice do to being painful to others.

A side-blinded notion of venting toward others because they are considered not of-our-own or one-of-us is another wrong in any scenario.  Juveniles in groups spontaneously getting caught up and acting irresponsibly in an off-track way does not speak for what has been learned better by most when together.

The Wisconsin State Fair broke attendance records this year, with more than 900,000 people visiting, according to a statement released Monday.

The fair saw 911,231 visitors during its 11-day run, a 4% increase over the fair's 2010 attendance.

The mob beatings of some fairgoers shook the event on its first night, but the melee did not affect attendance overall, according to fair officials.

"It was a tremendous Fair despite the tough start," said Rick Frenette, Wisconsin State Fair Park's CEO. "We are appreciative of the collaboration and efforts of the State Patrol, West Allis Police Department, and Milwaukee Police Department to assure our Fairgoers that the Fair is a safe, fun experience for our guests."

The fair also saw a 5.6% increase in revenue and more than 3,000 exhibitors, according to the statement. This was the first year fair attendance broke the 900,000 mark.

Here are the attendance numbers for the past 10 years of the fair:

2002: 894,709

2003: 806,484

2004: 879,322

2005: 822,518

2006: 861,408

2007: 801,240

2008: 872,458

2009: 832,484

2010: 876,020

2011: 911,231

We were there the day this happened and had a great time.  We left before the madness began.
