Its a RIOT!

So once again UW Madison is attempting a half-assed solution to a larger problem Halloween on State Street is being re-named FreakFest on State Street. I am sure the new name will end the years of booze fueled violence that make Devil’s Night in Detroit look like a Kindergartener’s slumber party. The city, paranoid after years of riots, tends to break out the tear gas a little early while the students of Playboy’s no.1 ranked party school are more than a little wild. The two factions feed off each other and every year the “party” grows out of control. Add to this the recent escalating violence on King Street (which is right across the Capital Square from State Street) and This year looks like it will be the worst ever for tragedy. That is O.K. though … the party has been re-named and they are considering a $5 cover charge. I am sure that if it costs $5 to get in everyone will be happy to drink non-alcoholic cider and bob for apples.
