Block Party Riots...

[balactm]

No, not at all Taylor. Normally there are cops in forest making sure no one steps in the road. My brother and othe alumni were shocked at the lack of police presence and couldt believe it. I am in no way advocating the reaction/ riot but they completely let it reach that point and in that they failed. Miserably. I too am shocked and appalled at what occurred but what you also must realize is a solid 40% of those people were not from Jmu so do not stick Jmu students under the bus here. And yes people definitely did start leaving, hard to see tht from your car when you're not in the crowd.

somewhat true about eh 40%. but then again you have to hold someone responsible and considering it's held at jmu by jmu students, they are the ones responsible for their guests... we are all adults. yet we have this reputation of acting like children. and granted people started leaving but it took more than a text message for people to actually leave. and those that did leave, did the smart thing.
