Yeah, I know the original quote was sarcastic, but I'd expect a response from the university before noon today.
I've been hearing the former since about 5:30 this morning. That the announcement is being delayed because they were trying to contact family and because they had good video of the people tearing the lamp post down and were waiting for facial recognition to do its job.
But mine isn't even second hand. It's a friend of a friend knows a nurse who blah blah blah.
Wish they could just punish those that were involved and not the 98% of those that celebrate Veishea the right way. I'll be devistated if I can't take my little one to the parade Saturday. There are too many that have worked too hard on good things this year to just cancel it all. I hope cooler heads use common sense and keep the activites that do not involve drinking.
Has this video been posted yet? I can't imagine being a cop in that situation, knowing how badly you're outnumbered and that **** could get real at any minute.

Chicago is quickly going down hill. I know lots of people that move to our town inSE Iowa and then just collect benefits for a few years and then move back. It also has something to do with their subsidized housing only lasting so many years.
Unless they somehow figure out everyone in the crowd like literally everyone. They were on the sidelines watching
Well the preschooler isn't 8 Jack and Coke's deep.
It is a shame though. Idiots.
wait, it's a shame the preschooler isn't 8 jack and cokes deep?
Also, I appear to have passed the 1000 post mark sometime yesterday. I feel like that's important or something.

And that video right there ******* pisses me off. That video right there tells you why you can't blame a cop for how they handle these things. They're out in front of 2,000 angry, drunk, violent kids when they could be like us sitting at home with our kids. I don't question them for their handling, I applaud them for their restraint.
How can anybody say that VEISHEA should continue when our own students act like that?
They should be angry because their VEISHEA has been hijacked by some dumb rioters, not because they can't get alcohol. It's time for the students to take a stand: hey, we want to drink but we don't want riot.

Eff that. Shut it down. Cancel it. Anyone in that crowd, even if they weren't doing anything, should be ashamed.

YOU DON'T KNOW!
Just kidding, but you're right - it's weird how alcohol is a depressant but causes so many people to get aggressive. Watching that video 3True posted above just terrified me. Can you imagine being in that situation, and it wasn't even really getting bad yet?
It's over. Sad to see it go. Maybe they can bring some activities back under a new name. But riots are now the thing people look forward to on Veishea, the two go hand in hand, and there is no going back now.
I would look into rebranding it, and making it super lame, no more concerts, no activities even close to welch.

As it is not really related to Veishea or the riots, that is pretty funny. I mean that could happen any weekend and hopefully no one got hurt as a result of this *******, but that story made me chuckle.
Serious? You would suspend people for standing out on the street and watching something happen? As long as they didn't do anything wrong they have a right to be there.
Part of the problem. I don't know if I'd suspend a player for it, but anyone standing around watching is a moron who participated in it getting out of hand like it did.
