So my hometown had a riot today (or, yesterday at this point). Thousands of stupid ass college students decided it would be funny to throw poodoo up in the air, bottles at cops, tip cars over, set fires, and pull out street signs. SWAT team was out along with the coast guard, who used tear gas and pepper spray, paint ball guns, a whole blockade surrounding the riot area, etc.. Later in the night they even closed everything down at night, and had helicopters flying around with spot lights warning everyone they would be arrested unless they go back in their homes.
Dozens were injured, a few deaths apparently. All of this happened and ruined an annual tradition of my hometown, a quiet little thing in the state of New Hampshire: Keene. I am sickened to believe something could be allowed to happen at such a publicized event as our Pumpkinfest. I meant to relax this weekend, enjoy hanging with my family, and messing around on the internet afterwards.
Instead I went home after walking through festival worried sick about the riot that was going on for HOURS through the day, with dozens of emergency vehicles lining up parts of the streets, and went online to literally sit in my seat, growling and seething at the sheer and utter stupidity of a drunk college populace. It has been called a warzone, and it makes me ashamed to think such a thing could be possible.
They weren't even rioting for anything! They were just collectively being the biggest collection of douchebags on the planet! We had a MILITARY karkING VEHICLE break up the crowds, among other things, like tear gas, pepper spray, paint ball guns, k9 units, SWAT team, riot police, the coast guard, and every other god damn thing to take care of this mess.
So yeah, how was your Saturday?
