But that's what happens when you mix alcohol with about 40 or so colleges in the 10-20 mile radius around Fenway Park. Most of the people down there weren't even Red Sox fans, they were just drunk college kids looking to "have fun." There are probably, what, 100,000 college kids in and around Boston? Maybe more? They certainly all aren't from Massachusetts or even New England for that matter, especially schools like Harvard, BU and Northeastern. It's unfortunate, but riots like these happen almost EVERY time a sports team wins a title. It happened in Detroit just this year when the Pistons won the NBA title. That was the last sports team that won one, and there were "riots" there. People climbing street lights and flipping cars and burning stuff are idiots no matter how you cut it. Believe it or not, I had been planning on driving to Boston if and hopefully when the Sox go for a fourth win to close out the series. Not even to go to the game, just to be a part of the atmosphere, to be a part of the celebration. That is probably exactly what A LOT of these kids that were down there were doing. Just trying to take it all in. But guess what, any time you get a crowd that big together, shit like this is going to happen. Things get carried away and all hell breaks lose. It has happened in all sorts of protests before, and this is no different. I feel really bad for that girl. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I don't see why the cop did what he did, but hindsight is always 20/20.
