at Maloney's or O'Malley's or at Main Gate Square at Frog or GB's.

Stay away from crap like this.

although can't remember what sparked the LaCrosse WI riot in 91 or 92. Just remember a couple of fellow students coming in with the reddest possible eyes. smh oddly enough some of it ended up on Unsolved Mysteries. the guy who torched the car. Even more odd.. The day we had our visit to the courthouse in LaCrosse for high school the room I visited was so packed we were like waiting out the door. Little known to me thats also the same door the perp would have to walk out thru. so our shirts brushed O_O

I wasn't really scared but I couldn't back up either because people were behind me. Wonder how that guy is doing now. Being a teen and black in LaCrosse times changing. but even back then my Racism site died in early 1986 when I was just 10 1/2 But I've written on this before

they tend to be labeled the coon creek riots though and 20 some years later they still happen

They were putting down a riot. My sympathies are not with the rioters.

they're doing their jobs correctly. Just think if someone second guessed you every time you did what you are supposed to do. That's Rush Limbaughesque.

so yeah, there will be clashes.

Win or lose, it's a good bet there will be rioting in Lansing, MI. soon.

It's become customary.

Mich State's run is over, and no riots happened. That's the bad news, and the good.

There's always next year.

In 2001 the students rioted after a championship game loss and the police department was not prepared to deal with it properly. A number of people got hurt, including a woman who was not involved but was shot by rubber bullets anyway as she pedaled her bicycle home and just happened to be near the riot. The students are certainly behaving unacceptably but that doesn't forgive poor responses on the police department's end.

with a right cross. Was that really necessary?
Haven't seen the video? Disturbing.

.....like they did at my Alma Mater Kent State. The students were acting like fools and the police held them in check and nothing more.

And don't even try to compare it to Kent State. That is being dishonest.

It's just a freaking game, furfucksakes. Grow up, you lost, get over it.

If only they would be as passionate with human issues--poverty,injustice,jobs,racism.

Way to go Bucky!!!

Win or lose, we tend to wind up with a riot, often trashing Fourth Avenue. I'm no fan of SWAT teams, but our local cops seem to be learning after the horrific incidents with rubber bullets hitting innocent residents of the riot site: one in particular being an unfortunate fellow blinded by one while he was standing on his own porch.
Personally, I find this level of passion for something as stupid as a sporting event to be repulsive.
