[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Christ, people seem more fired up this than about the storming of the Capitol and killing of a police officer.

Such irony.

There is one poster that trashes GU any chance he/she gets.  The fact of the matter is that post-graduation college celebrations involve a lot of booze and a lot of a trash no matter where the University is located.

This was very mild to the destruction that happened in the college town where my University was located.

Some trash and broken bottles---have you ever been to the National Mall after a 4th of July Celebration?

Now if they had spray painted Lincoln or the steps I would agree with you.  This was broken bottles.  You can't even walk down parts of DC or NYC in the middle of the day without stepping around those.

I suggest you come to Clarendon on a Sunday morning and see what the JMU, Tech and UVA students leave behind in their all night partying---and these are post-college professionals.[/quote]

And it took the maintenance staff less than an hour to clean up -- the word "trash" was taken way out of context; they didn't trash the memorial, there was some trash left behind. They should have carried it out with them like good scouts, but they didn't "trash the Lincoln Memorial."[/quote]

They could not even be bothered to clean up their own gross mess and left it for someone else to deal with.  Lazy, immature, self centered, trashy behavior.[/quote]

No. Just drunk.

There is trash all over the city.  Broken bottles are all over Logan Circle, Dupont, H street corridor and the close-in party areas.

I am not for littering, but leaving broken bottles after a college graduation ceremony isn't as note-worthy as posters are making it seem, EVEN MORE so if you see what it looks like after some big 'party' Universities the day after graduation.[/quote]
