If the media's going to call this an actual "riot," then they'd better get cops downtown to Coming St. and Wentworth St. on the CofC campus (aka fraternity and sorority rows) b/c these kinds of events go down DAILY during the fall. This was not a shootout--it was a loud party. If the locals have been complaining for so long, where were the cops when the out-of-town buses arrived? The media is sensationalizing this, and grouchy, crotchety locals are using that to their advantage.
