Move On, Let It Go

I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve had about enough to the riot talk. Most of us were there and we know what happened. We saw people burning things and we saw police officers standing around pretending not to see what was going on. Who stopped the pyro-maniac from taking the roadblocks for the bonfire in the middle of Forbes? Or there wasn’t ONE officer in… Continue

Survey Says: Riot Reactions

Upon hearing stories from Sunday night, professors were stunned to learn of the destruction and number of arrests made. Even for fellow students, most seemed disappointed with the reaction of their peers. “Do you think people were out of control in the way they celebrated the victory Sunday night?” “Absolutely that was terrible. They even broke windows in the library. Grow up!” “I didnt see what happened, I heard it was crazy but I can’t really tell” “not really we were just having fun. If th… Continue

Blazing Bonfire, Rowdy Riots Celebrate Steelers Success!

As most of you witnessed in Oakland last night, the Riot Police were not there to control the riot. Of course they were there to celebrate with us! Walking down Atwood Street into the chaos they were chillin’ on the sidewalks and in the alleys. A group of students were pointing out a fire to one of them, and he just looked and said “OK.” No one seemed too concerned with the fiery display in the middle of the street. The team pushed a few people back, be left the students carry in more trees and… Continue

Right now Grove City College is ran… Continue
