"Why are the people at our school fucking retarded?" wonders one University of Massachusetts-Amherst student as she videotapes the wild scene on campus from the safety of her dorm room last night. On the quad below, an estimated 1,500 students had gathered so express their outrage at billionaire Robert Kraft's devastating Super Bowl loss. Students set off fireworks, threw bottles, and chanted "Fuck the Giants" until riot police arrived, at which point the chant segued to "Fuck the police." Here's a bird's eye video from the dorm room, complete with co-ed commentary:
Police used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the sore losers, and arrested 13 students during the melee. There don't seem to be any reports of property damage, so some might say it's "wicked retahded" to call this a riot, but there were some fisticuffs. Check out this ground-level video of the pandemonium as the cops swoop in:
And here's one more from a woman's dorm room located above the quad. As in the other video, the young ladies' voices are either irritating or oddly attractive, depending on where you're at in life:
Meanwhile, in Boston, Patriots fans took their medicine somberly. The AP reports that the "hundreds of officers who lined the streets of Boston had little to do as fans quietly mourned their team’s Super Bowl loss." Boston-based sports fan Molly Mackenzie said simply, "We’re really sad right now."
