    That is twice I have heard of this today. And from two people who I wouldn't have expected it. Danged white people; too violent for my taste.

    St. Patrick's Day is when we get our annual cracker riot. I used to partake when I was a teenager. I didn't tear anything up but I would drink keg beer until I yakked in a stranger's house.
    My beliefs are a distillation of what I was taught as a child and what I observe as an adult.

    You can't put thousands of pumpkins together with drunk rednecks and expect them not to smash the pumpkins. It's like expecting a small child NOT to step in a puddle

    I was there. Social media and alcohol fueled the whole thing. People have been saying this would eventually turn ugly and that it would end up being a self fulfilling prophecy since the city of Keene got an armored vehicle.
