This all then leads into a runaway bar fight that involved the entire town, police, local militia, politicians, country people, people from towns nearby ... the fight spilled over into air balloons in the sky and people fighting in the lakes on either side of town .. they eventually burned down the original bar, the Americans blew up two entire neighborhoods, but only after the Europeans had burned down half the town and the Asias had left Chinatown district in complete shambles.
