There's a riot going on right now
one car torched, about 4 other fires set in the middle of the road. I went to a party that ran out of booze, so I followed some people to another one at an apartment complex. Along the way people told us that the SWAT team was called on another party where bonfires and cars were being lit. So I went to this party, HUGE, then a police helicopters shows up. I ran. But being curious I came down later to the where the first party is, fires still blazing, and hear the National Guard from Minneapolis has been called. Then police come in and start shooting rubber bullets, luckily this was after I left the crowd and was behind them. And find that sure enough, the party I came to later also exploded into a riot and has a couple other fires going on now.

And I'm just happy something exciting happened.

I'd take a riot over this ordeal any day.
