    Aww. Poor media. No massive riots. You wanted it so badly. You’ve been hyping it up for weeks and weeks.

    You’re just going to have to find another way to get a bunch of idiots to sit and watch your commercials all day. Sorry.

        Fox News made it out as though my city (Seattle) was in complete anarchy because there were people camping in one of the more popular parks in the middle of the city, which is near a police station. And they graffitied the police station.

        I know multiple people who believed it sincerely, including my mother-in-law. And I’m just like, Jesus christ, people… It was a bunch of college students out for summer camping in the park. There were artists and people playing guitar. Basically modern hippies.

        That neighborhood always has some crime because it’s a bar hopping neighborhood. The one guy who got shot at the time that the hippies were camping had nothing to do with the hippies camping.
