This was entirely surreal

So yeah, about those riots last night. To start with I was in the thick of it, ground zero, Symphony Rd. The cops had both ends of Hemenway blocked off and pushed in towards each other. Everyone thus had to spill onto Symphony Rd, where i was. I didn't participate in any car tipping, but i found a good photographer's perch and claimed it. I have about 100 pictures and a few movies, and if you want em, IM me or something.

I don't understand crowd mentality. It's completely juvenile. A mass of drunks who were supposed to be celebrating, Destroyed 7 cars, 5 of which were flipped on there roofs. At least 2 people are dead, and several others in the hospital. This was nothing like the Red Sox ones. There were way more titties, and less car destruction. But any way i know you all just want to see the pics

This used to be a cadalac:


This is one of the crowd jumping on a freshly tipped car:


Here's the police trying to containing people on Hemenway st:


The smell of Gasoline was everywhere and the fire department showed up to hose down the cars:


This is a shot of the Carnage in the wake of a few thousand drunken meat heads who felt the need to hose our streets with testosterone:


This is another aftermath shot. They flipped a Dodge Dakota, tshiiiiit:


It was so surreal, both being there and thinking about it today. Despite the destruction in the streets, it was business as usuall today.

Why can people gather in huge numbers and get so demonstrative for a football game, but not something that matters, like politics? If W gets reelected, there won't be any riots, or any flipped cars. People's priorities are just twisted i guess...
