Caputo's Corner Riot Watch: World Series Edition

Our running item following riots is back as "Boston Strong" apparently does not extend to New Hampshire.  What started as a typical college throng on the main campus got awfully physical when law enforcement decided it was time for everyone to go home at the University of New Hampshire and other smaller colleges in the Granite State. 

"Alright everyone, it's time to go home."

"HELL NO WE WON'T GO!" (Proceeds to launch glass bottles--I wonder what was used to fill them--in direction of police)

Random pyrotechnic display in vicinity of gathering...

Commence pepper spray, pepper balls and other crowd dispersing techniques of moderate force. 

At some of the smaller colleges, kids attempted to show off their rioting skills but were mostly thwarted by police.  I say mostly thwarted because police can't really stop people from taking their clothes off...and I'd hate to be the owner of the car that got turned over at Keene State College. 

In Boston itself, a few arrests were made but due to the high profile nature of the event police were at the ready so it mostly stayed under control...with a few individuals taking it upon themselves to attempt damage. 

In other news, Boston wins another championship.  Haven't they won enough already?

Stay classy, New Hampshire.
