What evs. You ignore my logic and have no argument.
It's called a par-ty.
So a few daisy's got smashed, cry me a river.
There is far more for this generation to worry about than a mess on the plaza.
The responsible among us will be cleaning up the messes of this industrial society and subsequent environmental and economic collapse for the rest of our lives.
Lady getting mugged, obviously bad. Girl OD'ing, that really sucks.
Guy falling, own damn fault. Almost knocked me off too. He turned out to be fine and walked away.
When these happen independently of Halloween who do you blame?
All in all, it's probably more fun and safer to party with the masses out in the open like that than to party behind close doors, out of view, where a lot worse can happen.
Would those teenagers be pounding booze if they were in private? Of course they would, and more.
Things such as these happen without parties going on and are a result of American culture.
Y'all are treating it like it's some tragedy.
All right, I'm done with this, it's like a center-left puritan review panel or something.
Yeah, cuz Palin came up with that, right?
The party rocked! Hate the man, loved climbing the statue! There is a mess after every party. Glad there was one left on that genocidal shot caller.
Everyone in that picture had one helluva good time. Those two guys up there were hilarious, but not cuz they were trying to be.
The guy on the left shoulder kept screaming, “Fuck yeah! You guys are awesome I love you!” in a manically happy yet aggressive manner while repeatedly giving high fives.
The guy on the right could barely talk!
Both chaps were respectful and polite when it came to climbing around up there, as was nearly everyone.
The incoming projectiles made it interesting too. Mostly empty beer cans, oranges, water bottles and an unopened bottle of apple juice. The juice was quite refreshing, ce magnifique!
McKinley was the best seat in the house, giving us a focal point to get our wild on like a big bronze pressure release valve in this largely repressed society.
Y'all who kept the drum circle going til the end are my heroes! Thanks so much!
The fireworks at the end really did it for me too. I sat on the bronze fools shoulders and watched as fireworks blazed past right me and lit up the foggy night sky overhead.
This message would not be complete without a shout out to the beautiful women who were up there, you know who you are ;)
Re: “Halloween on the Plaza”
The trash/recycling was cleaned up in no time. Much of it by older homeless people who are living hand to mouth.
The landscaping annuals are easily grown and easily replaced.
I was the first responder when that guy fell off the statue, made sure no one moved him, and took care of him until it was apparent that he was ok. So no, I don't walk over injured people.
In my opinion, my detractors on this blogthing are behaving like ignorant, biased, puritans.
The only argument that has any sway with me is where life and limb are concerned.
If my disregard for the monetary/emotional value of landscaping plants makes me an idiot then call me stupid.
