An Egyptian court on Saturday confirmed the death sentences for 21 people involved in a deadly 2012 soccer riot. The court also sentenced 22 other people to lesser sentences.

And the reaction that everyone feared is happening right now.

Fans of Cairo's Al-Ahly club — aka "Ultras" — stormed Egypt's soccer federation headquarters and set it on fire, as seen in the above picture tweeted by Mohamed Soliman. They have surrounded the interior ministry.
