crazy fuckin riots right in front of your face makes for an interesting saturday night. homecoming, went to a party at campusview. hit my drunken peak at about 10. we were going to go to monks but as we were walking over there, someone scorched by us and told us to run-there were cops in riot gear. they had tear gas and paint ball guns. we have no idea why. everyone was just drinking and minding their own business, just like every other weekend. we went back. one of our friends didnt. he had six of my rolling rocks...the first alcohol i have ever paid for...in his backpack. he got arrested. no longer drunk and not wanting to drink the few beers that survived, i decided to chill at a friends apartment. she went out to see what was going on. she comes back and tells me everything was fuckin crazy outside...that people are starting fires. i just wanted to look at pictures of cars but i went out with her. hundreds of people surrounding a handful of enormous fuckin fires. when we went to go check one out, we almost got nailed by some guys running while rolling a dumpster, and then by some guys bolting at us with a fence. everyone was throwing in their liquor. we went to check out another fire. this one smaller. some guys decided to try to tip this little ford escort. they couldnt do it the first time and everyone booed. they were successful this time. they put in some fence and set it ablaze. cops have been gone for at least an hour. people are chanting and everyone around me is on their cell phone telling everyone they know about this. people have video cameras and everyone is snapping pictures. low flying helicoptors shine their spot lights and people cheer. everyone whos car was by the burning one moved them real quick. one person didnt and later on, that one got tipped too.
cops finally came back. this time in a huge fucking swat team truck. and they had dogs. one cop, standing at the entrance to our friends building had a dog and screamed "get the fuck out of here if you dont want to get bit" we ran to the back. we crashed there not knowing how much longer this would go on. it ended 2 hours after we came in. people were trying to hide in the apartment. cops tear gassed the hall of the building i was in. what the fuck. the news makes it sound like people were pissed about losing the game which is the biggest fucking hunk of garbage i have ever heard. so, how was your weekend?
