Thread: March Madness Rioting!

er...almost




After tonight's unfortunate conclusion to the Arizona vs Wisconsin match, AZ fans hit the streets provoking a response from riot police involving smoke bombs, pepper spray, and rubber bullets. If I'm not mistaken I believe there were 9 students arrested and one pulled behind the riot line and beaten by officers. Board shorts and flip-flops don't seem like appropriate rioting attire. Sorry frat-boys, nice try. gg kthxbye.

In bad parts of my city, cops have been shot and killed during engagements with drug lords, meth dealers shot in the streets when pulling weapons, helicopter raids on drug warehouses...Come on frat boys - you're giving our state a bad name with your sorry excuse for a riot. (In all seriousness, I'm glad nobody was killed or seriously injured)

Arizona Daily Wildcat :: Riot on University Boulevard

Hey, I'm just happy there are a group of people who care about a sports team in this state enough to riot. Usually filling half a stadium is a challenge

Yeah no kidding, I think for most of ASU's games they aren't even able to fill that many seats.

I think the Dbacks get about 20 people on average =p

Mmm...have you smelt the bullshit tonight? some Arizona students fuck with police, they are a disgrace, people talk shit about UofA and it's students etc.

UCONN is setting fires, smashing cars, toss shit threw windows on campus, etc. and no-one is talking about how disgraceful that is. So property damage to a university and/or private property after a win=Totally cool. Some folks throw things at police=OMG Zona is terrible!!

Oh the funny part about it too, Zona's "riot," wasn't even that good of a riot. a decent "riot," though and no-one is up in arms, go figure eh?

In not annoyed mood, some of the tweets about the Lexington, KY police scanner is pretty awesome (I'm going to assume these are actual quotes):

"We have all of the stop signs in our possession down at the command post."

"He is looking for a the other man that's hiding in the Rite-Aid bathroom, we believe because of a bet."

"Investigate a robbery... I'm not quite sure where it occurred."
