The day after Thanksgivingcelebrated on the fourth Thursday of November, the police had to manage a total chaos : streets packed, crowds dense, endless traffic jams. The city was then hosting the annual football match between the army and the navy on Saturday, and supporters flocked in from Friday onwards to start their Christmas shoppingShopkeepers saw their stores literally stormed. The police then nicknamed this day “Black Friday”.
