"Children are our future" ... and it's damn scary!

The Mankato Free Press relates the tale of last Saturday night's riot.

“The scariest part of the whole thing was that no one seemed to care,” Medcalf said. “Students weren’t scared, they weren’t angry, they weren’t upset. They just did it to do it.”

Boothe said many students thought that because they outnumbered police, they could do whatever they wanted.
...
MSU student Laura Kleckner said she saw students roasting marshmallows over the burning car. The owner of the car hadn’t been identified by police Sunday. [ed. note: The owner was not in the car during the marshmallow roast.]

“It was so exciting, everyone was cheering,” Kleckner said. “I might have been cheering, too. But it is kind of sad that there were people getting hurt.”

“Yeah, but it was still really exciting,” said senior Christy Nelson. “We can say that we survived the riots of 2003.”

Hmm, Laura and Christy clearly have limited career opportunities in rocket science. But they're trumped by this next goof:

MSU junior John Peterson was walking through the crowd at about 1 a.m. when he got hit in the face with a fence post. The large wooden post scraped his face, causing him to bleed. Still, Peterson stayed to watch the riot until after 3 a.m.

“I don’t know, I just had to watch,” Peterson said.

Indeed.
