(Seattle UW) My power goes out, riots start

**kareface** · 2010-04-06 04:03

My power went out a few hours ago. A few minutes later I take a walk (nothing better to do). I notice a large group of kids gathering in the streets so I run back to get my camera. Sstudents took to the streets lighting fireworks, singing songs, blocking traffic and starting a large bonfire with furniture. The police initially arrived only to leave quickly after. 40min later they showed up in force, forcing the students back and putting out the fire. Power returned prior to the police arriving.

Most of the videos were taken by myself (not all), I'm not a professional anything so deal with the quality. I'm trying to order them chronologically:

lol oh boy. One of my buddies is in one of your pictures! I'm going to have to ask him how his night was.

nothing special

**kareface** · 2010-04-06 04:28

It's not that the event was something huge, but that it was caused by a 1hr long power outage.

The power of 20 year-old idiocy, en masse.

**Warudo Ecksu** · 2010-04-06 04:37

If my power went out, I'd be reaching for my DS. What the hell is wrong with kids these days

**miokomioko** · 2010-04-06 04:42

Isn't this from a movie?

Oh wait...

Same here. Or a book or something. Unless none of these kids have candles.

**kareface** · 2010-04-06 04:55

They made their own candles, out of couches.. lol

**Fistandantilus** · 2010-04-06 05:10

Well I mean, half of them were drunk, and the other half were high. You can't really expect them to pick up a DS or a book, or even to remember that they own one.

It's easier to go full retard than be constructive it seems, when it comes to college people <_>

**Fistandantilus** · 2010-04-06 05:14

Well most are in full retard already, so there isn't much work involved.

**Tricen** · 2010-04-06 05:19

Can I be a little bitchy, and ask for you to spoiler the pics :<. I hate having to scroll for an hour to get to the bottom of the page Q_Q

**Alvein** · 2010-04-06 06:55

idle hands are the devils work

^ Is that why Catholic priests keep theirs so busy with little boys?

**Qalbert** · 2010-04-06 10:22

I remember when power went out on my dorm and we started a nearly pitch black nerf gun fight.

**Uzor** · 2010-04-06 10:35

Is this where we say "This is what happens when kids today don't have internet or television and try to think of creative ways to spend their time"?

**Marootsoobutsu** · 2010-04-06 12:25

Y'know, I was planning to skip class today (I have a two hour commute each way, and my only class on Tuesdays and Thursdays is podcast), but this might make campus itself interesting enough to bother showing up.

Edit: Also, watching this just reminded me of "Nightfall". "Lights are out! What do we do?!" "BURN EVERYTHING"

You seem to have misspelled "parties."
