so i went to what was supposed to be a rave right before exams start outside the library. apparantly the DJ didn't have a permit, so there was no music.
"BUT WAIT!" one brilliant college guy said.
"I CAN DRIVE MY TRUCK INTO THE BRICKYARD AND PLAY MUSIC FROM THERE!"
at which point, things deteriorated rapidly. the mob followed the truck as the police forced it out, and then poured into the street stopping what little bit of traffic there was that late at night. at this point i heard one of the cops say into his radio "the students have taken the street!" as he walked by. that made me laugh. half of the raleigh PD began to arrive to force everyone off the street. from there it went on to the belltower, then some idiot screamed "CHANCELOR'S HOUSE!" bad idea. thank god nobody actually messed with it, but the mob started moving toward downtown. all the while, people were doing progressively stupider things. like try to climb the belltower. around this point i figured it was a good time to leave. when the "**** the police" chants started, it ceased to be a fun "rave" for stress relief before finals and became a bunch of drunken idiots causing a scene for the hell of it. (except they weren't even drunk most of them)
