So, this happened last night. I happen to attend this school. Basically, police break up a house party, then everyone goes crazy and starts throwing bottles at police cars.

When was the last time you heard of a riot like this at a college? This is newsworthy, thanks.

All this over a broken-up party? Grow up, people.

It happens more often then you'd think. Sometimes, you just get the right combination of alcohol and stupid, and BOOM! Instant riot.

Thanks to a similar riot like the TC's, my university has spring break early, to clear Albany of stupid people.

I blame Obama shutting down the death panels that would have eliminated these unneeded citizens.

I'm starting to think you're trying to give Washington State a bad name.

Never been to Bham myself, but isn't WWU kind of known as a party school (to outsiders at least, probably on a similar scale to CWU?)? Everyone I know who went there partook multiple times a week from my recollection. Either way that many students on the street causing mayhem is outrageous.

Not at all honestly, WWU is known for its academics. CWU is the party school (I know, I went there too).

There you go, ask a question. Start a conversation, don't simply post statements.

Hop off your OT high horse, friend.
