Probably some underage drinking too. Whoop dee do. Nothing broken, not a riot.
Those both still really suck obviously (especially if its your car.) I think it comes down to injuries or (god forbid) deaths.
If no light posts went down, but someone was just as equally hurt because of a car flipping or beer bottle - I think people would still be just as upset about the riots.
I don't think standing around off the streets (as ordered by the police) is wrong. Especially at the distance I was at.
Easy Drama Queen... I never said they "small" bad.
And if my friends want to paddle me? Lets get weird.
Oh I am sure that is true. He just had no interest going to campustown until he turned 21.
Unless you get hit in the head with a flying beer bottle, or the tipped car falls over on you...
Boy - you have about every sorry excuse in the book, don't you?
"I'm couldn't hear the bull horn over the obvious riot". "I couldn't get out of the way of the people carrying a couch down Welch".
Whatever.
Yeah I agree totally. I think light poles going down in the middle of a mob is obviously a lot more dangerous than those, but really what matters is someone got hurt and may be dead. Without that I think there is a lot less outrage, but the response is obviously well deserved.
I'm not embarrassed myself though. Maybe embarrassed for those involved. Extremely embarrassed for that dude taunting and dancing in that video earlier.
Just promise us when APD leaves a message to call them back you will start a thread on it
I'm all in favor of canceling VEISHEA. If it returns in future years, cut it way back. Why does it need to be a week long celebration? A Fri-Sun event is easily sufficient.
I think next year should be cancelled entirely and I wouldn't be mad if Leath handed down a 5 year ban.
Question -- are there surveillance cameras in Campustown?

I guess cops told a bunch of students that 75% of arrests last night in Ames were on non-ISU students. Four people tweeted it just a few minutes ago.
It's obviously not a zero percent risk chance, but it is way, way safer than a 20 foot light pole falling down in a packed mob of people.
Got it, thanks for confirming my statements about you.
Let's turn this around:
I'm also sure the majority of non-Greeks weren't out there. But it's a select few students that are nuts.
I would tell you to just stop, but you don't seem to be realizing how you sound, so keep firing away, its great entertainment.

^ good read on mob mentality, because lets be honest, we aren't getting any work done today.
"In other words, bystanders don’t have to be egging on the violence; the bewildered on-looking eyes of spectators can be all it takes to reinforce criminal behavior, he said."
But, but, but.... It was all the greeks!!! Must be frat guys from other schools, amirite?
