Tear Gas!

After the heartbreaking lose to butler on Saturday, many flooded the streets to vent their frustrations. Hoards of people rushed to broad street where they where met by a very well prepared police force. Some friends and I decided to check out the insanity, and where in shock to see swat teams, armed with riot shields, mace, tear gas, dogs, horses, and prisoner buses. Once on broad people were really drunk and doing some of the dumbest things I've ever seen. The police force was not yet intervening at this point. People started to shoot off fireworks, and light things on fire creating a total uproar. The cops threw some tear-gas in hopes of breaking it up, but people quickly came back. It was not until some people lite a tree on fire that the police started moving in pushing us back. People started to throw things at them, such as bottles, and rocks. When they pushed everyone back onto Laurel, people would not move and decide to fight back. That is the point when the police started using rubber bullets, and mortaring tear-gas into the crowd. If you have never experienced tear-gas, then your lucky, because that was insanely uncomfortable. It took my breathe away and almost forced me to throw up. My eyes burned so much that they water and my nose just started running. Everyone scattered and ran to safety, for me and my friends it was back to the Rhodes/Brandt patio. Certainly that was a night that I won't be forgetting anytime soon.
