News Panic On The Streets Of London Olympia

Apparently the students at Evergreen actually do more than smoke pot and talk about how cool squatting is. Last night/early this morning, at a Dead Prez concert, police arrested someone on misdemeanor assault charges after a small fight broke out, and, well, a riot ensued.

The group on-stage (no word on whether it was Dead Prez or an opener) suggested the crowd “do something” about the person getting arrested. Rather than employ their typical Evergreen response (curse the man, smoke a bowl, write a zine about it), a crowd of about twenty-five over-turned the cop car, broke some windows, stole a computer and a radar gun, graffiti-ed the car, and displayed other very non-pacifist behavior.

In news more shocking than violent hippies, M-1 and stic.man played Evergreen college.

I'll bet Calvin Johnson overturned the police car himself with his superhuman strength and then shrugged it off by saying 'dunebuggy' or something like that.


also: "curse the man, smoke a bowl, write a zine about it" I didn't know Matt Davis went to Evergreen!
