Parallel Universe

So I must be living in a parallel universe where people are allowed to destroy a city without any consequences. I was on my way to meet up with some friends to go to dinner and a movie last night. A couple of blocks before reaching my department, I had to stop in the middle of the street as a mob of 100s of toga-clad students just came running across the street in-front of traffic. I sat there mildly amused watching them pass while I missed a couple green lights. I get to the street my office is on and the road is closed so I can only go straight. I end up in the cross fire of an egg-throwing war between a couple groups. Haha, my truck is getting pelted with eggs as a couple are taking refuge from fire behind my truck. Then one of them opened up my back door and as I start swearing another came running by, hears me swearing and shuts it. I turn the corner and get to the next stop light and across from me another group is trying to rock a city bus back and forth at a stop light...like they're really going to tip it. And further up the street I see another 100 or so run across the town center octagon. I tell my friends that it's not safe to walk to the movie so we decide to meet at my house and get pizza. I headed home to wash the truck...which I figured out tonight that I didn't get it all cause there is egg in-between my door seals...my door was "egged" shut!

Thankfully, all I got was eggs. Students were throwing vomit and feces out their windows at other students and onto cars. Other cars were smashed up, store windows broken and garbage bins upheaved. Click here for the news story and photos. Only 3 people arrested!!! No one will be expelled...they want to act like this doesn't ever happen here, but it does every year...it just was a bit worse than normal. Any other civilized city in the world would not allow this shit! But this town just cleans up the damn mess! I am flabbergasted that the students can run over this town, be aggressive and destructive in such shear force of numbers that other residents can't even go to a damn movie cause it isn't safe! It's disgusting!
