This happened two months ago...and there was already a thread on here about this event at that time.

Look what Homeland Security did to these college students!

Half these idiots in college nowadays shouldn't even be there. They should either be in the military or working and learning a trade. Our government and the banks have made it so easy for everyone and their brother to go to college. College has been turned into one big rite of passage party instead of a priviledge for the few that are qualified and mature enough to attend and embrace it.

What caused the riot? The story doesn't seem to explain itself.

If the youth of the country hate the police so much maybe they should let these wanna be tough punks fend for themselves when the criminals move into their little quaint college towns destroying their way of life with drugs, prostitution, violence, raping their precious little college girls. Most of these lilly college kids wouldn't last a day sweating in an Iraqi desert yet they are quick to hate on cops who are actually out there protecting them and keeping this country safe or atleast trying to. I agree the police state has gotten excessive. But don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
