Strange - for a while this Rooster thought it was a Riga problem and mostly with the boys.

Guess What? It appears to be a hetitage and/or society problem perhaps?

“Suppress the drunken hoodlums!”
Riga mayor orders police chief to bring order to Old Riga

A drunken Brit who punched a city policeman has managed to annoy even the usually calm mayor of Riga, Janis Birks. Riga Municipal Police Chief Janis Gedusevs has been told to “bring
order in Old Riga”. "It is alarming that an increasingly large number of foreign citizens ignore any kind of limitations, disrespect the rules and have no respect for other people.

Now, by attacking a policeman, they have gone beyond all bounds," Birks said. According to research cited by this article in the Russian-language daily Vesti Segodnja, out of 2.5 million tourists who visit Riga each year, more than 270,000 come to the city with the intention to fight. Latvia has the image of a country with cheap drinks, wayward girls and impunity, the article continues.

Tourists urinating by the Freedom Monument have been punished only by fines. The author of the article suggests putting the nasty people behind bars instead.
