Brocial Media Recap: Kegs and Eggs 2011

By Patrick. Posted on March 13, 2011 at 8pm filed under Parties

Didn’t go to Kegs and Eggs? Me neither. But thankfully, with the highly accessible and scalable communication technique of “brocial media” (new KAB coined term) we can all experience the debauchery that was. Here is a roundup of K&E 2011 internet-ty things thanks to smart phones and stupid people.

UPDATE: George Phillip, the president of UAlbany responds to the activities shown below.

A bunch more after the jump. Get stoked.

And yes, a bunch of people got arrested. So not chill.

Instead of freaking about this outlandish behavior that has been going on since I moved up here 10 years ago- lets toss out some solutions- so far, other than shooting drunks with machine guns- which may cause more media free-for-all- (although I’d like to reserve my space on the firing squad-shhhh)… What if SUNY, the private universities here in the cap district and the local cops along with school campus police were to make this slightly more contained… May I mention Alive at 5 (which nearly devastated me when they proposed its cancellation) just needed some extra precautions and guidelines worked through to make it the success I found it to be last year…. So my thoughts… why not have the parade end up further from the college ghetto and closer towards those who should be monitoring it– campus police… We have markedly less drunken debauchery when college goers return home for the summers… it is the out of towners brought in by colleges that unite and demolish!! Place blame from whence it stems and shift responsibility for maintaining order to those responsible for the drama doers… What am I missing??

Jo

As a college student or a parade go-er you need to be responsible for yourself and your drinking. The parade has been going on for over 20 years! Yeah, change tradition because everyones ridiculous. (OKAY!) not a solution.
http://www.facebook.com/people/Wendy-Wanderer/100000397770228 Wendy Wanderer

PARADE steps off at 2pm
ROUTE
FROM Quail St and Central Ave.
TRAVELS east, merging with Washington Ave
TURNS at City Hall and travels east on State St.
TURNS left at Pearl St
REVIEWING STAND is located on North Pearl St.

What part of the parade had has anything to do with the student ghetto? What part of the parade has anything to do with something that should start or end anywhere near either campus? Most of the kegs and eggs crowd has finished puking in their toilets and are laid out somewhere by the time the parade steps off. Is there some other parade you’re talking about?

Events that leave the local universities looking like nothing but useless party schools should get taken over and controlled by the schools who might as well be sponsors in their passive support of the events and who might be concerned about managing to keep students coming as the money for college gets harder to come by.

The parade and the rest of the city events don’t need to cater like everything else to college students, I know a lot of people think Albany has nothing to offer, but if the only thing we get is this crap take your college bars and go somewhere else, as another South Ender mentioned, if you live elsewhere in the city you can’t even have a house party without the police knocking on the door, heck we can’t round the corner without the police presence–and our high school is blamed for things that happen hours later and miles away from the high school, we need to hold these ADULTS at least as responsible as we hold high school kids for their behavior.

I remember canvassing on Hamilton St last year and I remember speaking to one homeowner who felt like she was at war with these transient students who move into the area, topple property values, and hold raucous parties until all hours of the night.

And I thought that was hyperbolic, even though those parties do get out of hand. But then you see these videos–she was right and the city hasn’t done enough for the homeowners.

Hope they throw the book at these mouthbreathers. Especially that stupid girl that attacked a cop because he was arresting her boyfriend. What an idiot…

Can’t believe this madness. I heard about people bashing others’ cars but really? Is this something along the “small penis syndrome” situation? The smaller the dick the bigger the prick I guess.

Andrew Cayer

I will never understand this sort of behavior from anyone. I don’t see the appeal. Why do people have to fuck with everyone else’s shit?
Also, thank you Albany for sullying the already tarnished reputation of the Irish.

Jim

The only way this has to do with the irish is st pat’s. This is just our future drinking too much. I think im going to move to canada or even mexico…

Mcjorris

this isn’t the irish’s fault, its all the idiots who aren’t irish who disrespect the religous and cultural celebration to get trashed based on the stereotype that irish people love to drink. You don’t see irish kids showing up at columbus day celebrations, san genarro feasts, puerto rican day parade, and other ethnic celebrations to get obnoxiously drunk and destroy property. The irish welcome all to join in festivities and this is the problem they get for it.

Guest

What a bunch of morons!!! I’m glad I forwarded this web site to the Albany PD. So they can use the videos to catch the stupid college kids doing this.

stop snitchin nigga
lookwhosetalkingnowbiatch

you are a real asshole and /or cuntface. sorry you never got to have this much fun.

Read a Book.

I’m sure the people who got their property destroyed thought it was Amazing, just like you! How would you feel if someone destroyed your stuff in the name of a good time? Also, do you even live in the neighborhood outside of going to school here? There is a larger community here than just insane,idiotic, and privileged college students.
Your “fun” time is going to mean Jail Time for a lot of people.
You should have more “fun” just like this so that all you assholes can get put away.

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_NEOS2HO2ITOC6GKUN2Q4DZHZCA Daniel

most of the kids aren’t privileged, however that was insanely uncalled for. When I was there we got drunk (#1 party school my jr yr) and had tons of fun, but never at the expense of other people’s property.

KR

This time it was at the expense of people’s property. And according to our laws, those who damaged it should be properly dealt with.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_NEOS2HO2ITOC6GKUN2Q4DZHZCA Daniel

I never said they shouldn’t be dealt with. I’m all for that. What I’m saying is don’t lump every college student together, their not all privileged, and when I was there we didn’t do that sort of stuff yet still had fun.

Bender

If that’s what you call fun. I feel very, very, very sorry for you. Hopefully one day you will work through whatever sad issues you have in your life and turn it around for the better. And if you were one of the miscreants who was involved in these GROSS actions I hope you’re held responsible for them.

you appear to be some sort of idiot

You rock for doing this. As much as I love drinking on St. Patty’s day these people are seriously idiots, I’m sure they’d be pissed if it was their car. Stupid people.

Getfucked

Topple the proper value lmao sean you’re a fucking retard. If anything these rich suburbanites are the only ones keeping the property value unaffordable for all the locals. $500/a person for a shit ass house on hamilton? Please. You can get a nice 4 bedroom in colonie for $1200 yet for some reason you pay $2000 for a 4 bedroom in the “college ghetto”. It’s a fucking joke and if you honestly think these kids are driving down the value of some shit ass property you don’t know your ass from your elbow.

But yea fuck these white boys. oOoOoOoO look at me I drank 2 beers!!!!!!

Jt

then go to Colonie, jackass.
butthole

white boys can drink more beer than you. go enjoy your old english

Embarassed

as a SUNY student who has participated in this for the last couple years, I can honestly say this year and these videos are the most ridiculous collection of idiotic behavior and disgustingly disappointing events. Its kids like the ones on the videos destroying other people’s cars and property that ruin what is supposed to be a reckless and fun college holiday for all the years to come. It only takes one year of this kind of behavior for the police to destroy all future potential Kegs and Eggs has. Way to go jackasses.
Guest

How frakking stupid was all of this?! I think these videos should be sent home to the students parents, the students should be kicked out of their homes, and suspended from school. Clearly they have no idea of what responsibility is.

wow really? these kids are criminals and should get whats coming to them but i don’t think the savages murdering eachother in the surrounding neighborhoods is necessarily related.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Wendy-Wanderer/100000397770228 Wendy Wanderer

Maybe if the city wasn’t stuck dealing with idiot college students imported from other parts of the state it could be more responsive to the rest of the city’s needs. Answering all the quality of life calls created by these kids is surely a bad use of our resources and one the kids or whomever is paying their way should have to pay for.

All of the fucking idiots in these videos are a blight on the system of higher education in the U.S.

took part in the kegs & eggs crap? you should be banished to what ever crappy downstate suburb you came from and trash mommy & Daddys house

Kayyx3luhh

what about the majority of us who sat at our own houses with our closest friends and didnt bother anyone? People are forgeting that the majority of people acted appropriately, and the ones who didnt, are being punished, and they deserve that. Also, there are some people who got arrested, who are not from downstate. So you cant put all the blame on Downstaters. In regards to “mommy and daddys” house. I pay my way through college, i work 3 jobs, and my parents kick in what they can. I did nothing to your city to disrespect it, and i love it here. So please do not put the blame on all of us. It was a small majority. The people who acted horribly were white, black, suny, st.rose, and non-students, spoiled, hard working, down state, out of state, and LOCAL. No it is not ok whatsoever. But again, its a poor example of everyone who did nothing wrong.

And if you were one of the miscreants who was involved in these GROSS actions count on being held responsible for them. Because I’m on a mission to get all you little fucktards in front of a judge for the shit you pulled. Partying is partying but this was just plain disgusting.

btw you’re sickening.

This is pathetic and disgusting. What a bunch of spoiled, fucked up, retarded, careless, entitled cunts.

Guest

when you say “cunts” are you insulting these immature students by referring to them as females?

Lauren

I’m from Albany, and I’m only 22… fresh out of college. Still, I’m horrified at this. I’m glad to hear someone has already forwarded this to the police, because I was going to do so myself in the hopes of having some of these kids IDed through video. I’m disgusted, sad… this is beyond me. Better park your cars safely out of town next year.

As a senior @ St. Rose I must say this is my 2nd Kegs nd Eggs event and it was insane. These videos only do half justice, I was in the crowd during the riot, nd car flipping, nd attempted assault on one of the officers. Being that I’m from Los Angeles, I’ve only seen similar behavior in college students during Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Honestly we shouldn’t behave in such a manner, but at the same time, police allowed a lot of this to happen. Blocking off only 2 streets and allowing all of this to happen what did you expect…ALL I’M GOINA SAY IS THAT I HAD A BLAST

KEGS & EGGS 2011=SUCCESS

GirlhasaClue

…You drag the name of St. Rose through the mud. And I hope that’s not your real name, because I guarantee someone will find it and come ask who you are and why you contributed.
You and yours give our generation a bad name, you give future generations nothing to look up to, no example to follow. You should be absolutely ashamed for thinking that any of this is a good thing.
I know people who go to St. Rose, and as true representatives for their school, I think that they would be horrified to see that you posted this.

This is why St. Patrick’s day should be banned. Only a holiday for stupid alcoholics.

guest

St. Patrick’s day is a great holiday when it’s celebrated the right way. It’s a religious holiday not an excuse for a parade, to get drunk, or riot everyone needs to realize that…. And I’ll say right now I’m a college student who WAS looking into transferring to Albany that was present for this. It was a fun time until people started rioting trying to flip cars and went all crazy. I’m 99% sure I’m not going here now because of this.
guesttt

It has nothing to do with banning St. Patrick’s Day. It’s just people not controlling their drinking and being complete idiots. Yeah I think they were really stupid and out of hand. But that doesn’t mean ban St. Patrick’s Day. That’s probably the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.

http://twitter.com/thepincopallino Pinco Pallino

I think what that guy is trying to say (though not very eloquently) is that St. Patrick’s Day has become synonymous with binge drinking and rowdy behavior. And most people are OK with it because, “Hey! It’s St. Patrick’s Day!” It’s not exclusive to teens or college kids…it’s people of all ages. They are the reason the South Side parade was ended in Chicago.

They are the reason we can’t have nice things.

THis is spoke obviously from a young punk kid who has no idea whatsoever what it means to be an adult. This is precisely why students should NOT be allowed to vote in the place where they attend school. Comments like these are what ruins things for the overtaxed homeowners.

I have to explain to you becuase you have absolutely no clue. Homeowners have to pay a mortage, interest, property insurance, city taxes, county taxes, school taxes, water charges, sewer charges, etc. etc. And then the homeonwer has to pay to fix up the houses from the damage the kids do.

If you think it’s so much better in Colonie for less money, go, go rent out there and see if you can have all these drunken brawls.

GirlhasaClue

THEY CAN’T! That’s why they don’t live there! They’d be evicted faster than you can say PARTY if they pulled the kind of shit that goes down around there.
I graduated HS local, moved out of my mother’s house sophomore year, and my mother made it clear as glass that I could live where ever I wished as long as it was not the SUNY ghetto….and this is why.
I am totally aware of what goes into a house’s upkeep, which is why I’m such a happy tenant.
And a lot of these kids don’t realize that a 4 bedroom in colonie is not $1200, it’s about $3000. And if they find a 4 bdr for that price, it sure as HELL is not in colonie. $500 is damned cheap as far as rent is concerned, and a lot of these kids are idiots.
I’m very happy paying my $850 for my one bedroom and not having to deal with this….and also not having these idiots as neighbors.

Guest

Most people are not giving the cops enough credit for letting this situation get out of hand, for almost all of these videos the cops were at most a hundred yards away watching. When a drunk college kid sees people destroying property and the cops are not doing anything about it what do you think is going to happen? NOTHING GOOD! And don’t give me that “they should be more responsible” crap of course they should be but lets be realistic, they’re college kids, most of which had drank themselves senseless. AND of course they have no thought of how much damage they cause to the community or to the schools reputation, most of them will never come back to Albany anyway after they graduate (or if they even make it to graduation) so what do they care? All I’m saying is the cops should have been more prepared and as long as they allow things to happen on this scale it will keep happening.

StopHatingCops

Don’t even start to get on the cops. Here you might say they didn’t do enough, but if they had gone in and tried to break it up everyone would complain that they did too much; cops can’t win, so don’t start criticizing them you fucking idiot. Think about THEIR situation with the same pity and “thoughtfulness” you put into your opinion about the students.

Guest

Sir/Madam I’m just trying to be realistic, and I agree that they can’t win, If they were to step in they would have got shit for it but frankly that’s all they would have got for it. Whats more important, the safety of the community or the cops reputation?

HopeThisHelps

This is the first sentence in the “Duties and Responsibilities of Police Officers”

“The objective of this position is to protect life and property in the community through the enforcement
of the laws and ordinances”.

emonebrah

In addition to that if the cops started coming at the college students and beating and arresting them, there would have been tons of lawsuits, it would have been a PR nightmare for them.

Bigrep300

You have a realistic viewpoint, but the real problem is that American society is based on ZERO accountability for one’s actions. There is always someone else to blame for everything. 08 financial meltdown – zero bankers go to jail…….if you fall down on the ice, sue the owner of the sidewalk…….if you drink yourself to death……If you use a fake id to get into a bar, the bar can get sued……start a war based on lies and deceit, and retire with full pension, then do a book tour. It’s the American way. Fuck you, I’m rich so shut up. All these college kids learned it all from their parents. You can hear people in the background of the video saying “glad that’s not my car..”. Well that is the exact opposite of what would happen in Japan. That’s why Japan has managed to keep law and order through the tsunami. They have ethics, and they take personal responsibility for their actions, and inactions. America has lost that completely. New Orleans will still be rubble when Japan has this mess completely cleaned up and repaired. These kids are the future of America. It’s no surprise.

Angelica

Wow. I had avoided watching these videos until now because they make me absolutely ashamed to go here.

What. The. Fuck.

They all need a serious beating over this shit. Someone confiscate iPods and take away their allowance. They don’t need to be able to afford booze ever again.
ReadaBookWhiteBoy

This is why I live in the REAL ghetto…but The South End of albany is dangerous…right? These neanderthals should have never been able to escalate to this point. The real problem here is that the communities being policed are of course…the poor and black communities. APD is “cracking down on crack”…right. you couldn’t even begin to throw a party like that down here. police would be here in less than 5. can’t tell you how many house parties i’ve seen busted down here that weren’t even remotely close to anything that took place and Kegs and Eggs or even the parties that take place on a nightly basis in the college toilet-I mean-”Ghetto” these kids wouldn’t last 10 minutes in the real hood and I’m thankful they steer the fuck clear. not to mention the fact that the police treat Albany HIgh like a riot zone every.single.day….But hey…

Maggiefarm

i agree readabookwhiteboy, this is so racist. if these where brown skinned kids you know that the popo would be all over that with everything they got. with the music festivals at the plaza when the music is done the pigs shove everyone out asap. of course not all of the festivals, white music fests good..black and latino music fests..bad. if anyone has any ideas of standing around… the city is ready to step in with everything: riot gear, horses, what ever. just can’t see it a couple of blocks away. i would rather have all these kids sent home for good, every last one and for whites to look at their racist laws, behavior and privileges. albany high is also a good point. a couple of years ago the cops totally fucked up some kids…young ones… with their “keeping the peace”, brown skin kids again. messed up.

dontgiveafuuuuckkk

maybe thats because black people mostly are the problem in the freaking city of albany and you guys carry guns everywhere you go….these are just college kids celebrating a fun holiday the best way they know how since they are under so much pressure at school. they never killed anyone all they did was smash up some cars and the people they did it to probably deserved it.. I bet people get shot in your “ghetto” all the time .. dont see that happening here.. stop thinking its racist and just deal with it.

Every single person in these videos are disgusting pieces of shit. I am ashamed to call myself an American. I hope you all die. Why was Japan hit with a tsunami? Even in that situation, there is no looting or rioting there. I hope a tragedy of that magnitude befalls every person in these videos.

I watched it all. I saw about 5 cars get damaged by probably 20 young men and that is deplorable. Other than that it is mostly harmless fun and games, some people ruining their own property. 95% of the city enjoyed the parade without incident. Don’t let the mistakes of 20 young men be an excuse to ruin an amazing event enjoyed by tens of thousands.

THANK YOU! FINALLY SOMEONE WHO SEES BOTH SIDES OF THE STORY.

Is that a school for special kids?

yes, yes it is.

Kayyx3luhh

to bad its one of the hardest public schools to get into in the country. you need a 90 coming out of high school, or a minimun 2.5 from another university to transfer here. So lets not point the blame at at 17000 students that go here (and the others from st. rose), I saw kegs and eggs, and while some of it was horrible, and the people deserved to be punished, (car flippers, property destroyers, ect) Please take into consideration that that was a couple hundred people, and some of us just had a good time, and hung out on our OWN porches, and did nothing to harm anyone, or anything. Thank You

Hey, don’t all people from Albany that way. These are people from OUT of the Albany area, coming here for school for four years, not giving a shit about the place, and going home to where their mommies and daddies are going to take care of them.

Kayyx3luhh

I dont think all people from albany are like that. But you made a generalization about “out of the albany:” area students, so how is that fair? Point is, we cant make generalizations about ANYONE from a small group in the wrong. My parents are not going to take care of me after I graduate, hence why I pay alot of money to live here and go to college. Please stop the generalizations about others, and i hope they will stop making them about you, because although a lot of albany is in need of serious help, there are GREAT hard working people who live here, and I, a suny student, do nothing but respect them, and there properties.

You forget that not everyone involved in kegs and eggs was from L.i. to some people this IS home. and that is very unfortunate for you I guess.

KEGS AND EGGS IS AWESOME AND ANYONE WHO THINKS OTHERWISE NEVER HAD FUN AND ARE JEALOUS THAT THESE PEOPLE GET TO EXPIERENCE IT ! Destroying peoples cars is not cool though and they shouldve just kept it like last year and just moved the car in the street to stop trffic instead of destroying it. other than let LETS PAAAARRRTTTYYYY!

Guest

I love this. Kegs and Eggs 2011 was the best day of my life.

St45

For all of you assholes who feel like stereotyping the downstaters, as you so call us, all of you upstaters can get the fuck off of your high horses; I’ll guarantee there were as many upstate hicks at this riot as there were downstate clowns. There’s nothing very gem like about albany to begin with; plenty of people who permanently live here don’t even give a shit about this place (not to say that that’s a condonable attitude), but chill out and stop acting like you’ve never done something shameful in your life. And by the way, last I checked, Hudson Ave is cleaned up pretty nicely. The people who really destroyed things should be punished, no question, but quit crucifying us for having a good time. My friend even spoke to one of the officers there and I overheard him say “I remember living here and partying on kegs and eggs. It’s a great time, but this is getting a little crazy, so we just need to ensure safety,” so stop blowing all of this up to be more than it is. And one last thing…for all of you telling us to “go party in our own home town”…we do…and we keep it clean… it’s the idiots in general (from up or downstate) that ruin it. And hypothetically, if we were to leave…ALBANY’S ECONOMY WOULD COLLAPSE. WE RUN THIS CITY AND KEEP ALL OF YOU BUMS, WHO RUMMAGE THROUGH OUR TRASH FOR BEER CANS AT NIGHT, ALIVE AND LIVING! We keep this city afloat, it’d sink if there were no SUNY ALBANY. toppling the property value? don’t make me laugh, these houses on hudson, hamilton, (the student ghetto) would probably fail most health or zoning inspections 9 times out of 10. (IT’S THE SLUMLORD’S AND PROPERTY OWNERS, WHO COULD GIVE A FUCK ABOUT PROPER HOUSING CARE, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GOING AFTER!) A normal working to middle class family wouldn’t even think of being caught dead in one of these rat holes you call houses, but we do and we will BECAUSE YOU NEED US!

KEGS N EGGS 2011!

its estimated that these 16k students pump about 7k a year (on the short end) each into the economy of this city. thats 112million each year. thats UA alone. not counting St Rose, Siena, Sage, ACP…you remove the students and you remove vital income for this city. you’re probably some townie, (wannabe hipster or straight edge hardcore kid (either way you’re a loser)…or maybe an ignorant student who is to good to go out and have a little fun once in a while) crying behind your computer because you can’t do anything about the condition of your town all by yourself… BOOOHOOOO! :’( QUIT CRYING
Kayyx3luhh

I think it would be in serious state of chaos.

NOT a spoiled moron

Incredibly happy that I graduated with my 4 year accounting degree years before these spoiled morons had the chance to crap all over it. Some of us work for everything that we own while others get drunk and wreck property because they are handed everything and have no sense of what it is like to be on their own. Even if they were arrested, I am sure mommy and daddy would find a way to get them out of trouble. DISGUSTING.
People are insane

Some of these vids have been removed by the user. Note to people who try and remove vids from YouTube, the DA’s office will get suponea’s and get the videos from YouTube. You can’t erase stuff forever from the internet, idiots.

To those saying that it was the best day of your life and that the rest of us our jealous because we have never had that much fun: is that what you are going to say on job interviews when questioned about your criminal record? That IS why you went to college, right? To create a better life for yourself? Yeah. Good luck with that.

all im saying is that you dont see this kind of shit happening when people are smoking pot! worst you’d see is a car full of people with the munchies storming a taco bell drive thru. but they have no problem keeping alcohol legal!

Kegs and B*tches

Kegs and eggs was crazy this year. I dont think the riot was worth it tho. Now the police have no tolerance for parties in the student ghetto and you can forget about a crazy kegs and eggs next year. As for all the haters, your input doesnt matter. you were not part of the event, nor will you ever. The area doesnt concern you either so hop off our dicks because you cant get yours up. UA!

guest

You, sir, are an idiot. You just proved the point of the “haters” posting on here. You are an embarrassment to the school. Sickening that this is what the schools are pumping out these days. Hope you wind up with a retail job when and if you graduate because I sure as hell don’t want you to be the future of america.

guest

some people just cannot handle college or living in the real world. What a waste of an education. How embarrassing for the parents as well as the university that pumps out these idiots

For the morons that had a glorious time destroying things for no reason at all aside from having no other drive in life than to get wrecked and wreck everything in your path because your life sucks that bad,

I hope you have an even better time dealing with the police and being held responsible for your GROSS actions. There’s a difference between partying and having a good time and that which went on this weekend. The only thing that saddens me more than watching those videos is that you obviously have no shame for what you’ve done according to the comments and will probably do it all over again as your pathetic life continues on.

For those of you that are as disgusted as I am,

PLEASE look at and pass on the following link. Hopefully someone will step forward and identify these cretins and they will be held accountable for this repulsive scene.

You guys should be a little more BROtacular and get aids and die.

Congratulations dumbasses…you probably just ruined one of the best events each year for UA students. Guess what happens next year…cops will be everywhere, with zero tolerance for ANYTHING. You want to know why fountain day sucks now? Ask the morons in 2004 who got belligerent and out of control and ruined it for everyone for years to come.

You’re all an embarrassment to the school, the alumni, your parents, and the human race. We all (well most of us) did stupid shit and went crazy while attending UA, but this is deplorable.

But, I agree, commenting about the “downstaters”? Walk the college ghetto one day and tell me if a single one of those houses would pass building code or health inspections. Give me a break. Go to Penn State and see where Greek life lives, and then understand why kids at UA have no respect for where they live…its a freaken dump, run by slum lords. I lived on the corner of Hudson and Ontario 2 houses from the old pine hills market, and when my grandmother saw the house and street where I was living she started crying.

guest

How much of it is slumlords and how much of it is the idiot students? Not saying you were like that because I don’t know you, but I have been to those house parties and was disgusted by the stench of beer all over the sticky floors and the homemade fully stocked bars. Even if the slum lords fixed anything, these students destroy it. The idiot skanks wrestling in a tub of beer is exhibit a. Students need to take blame for their stupidity.

Here’s a concept…fix the places up and you can charge more rent, hold larger security deposits, and make these morons think twice about destroying the place. With a nicer place, you can be more selective with who you rent to as well. It is prime location for college students with the bars, late night food places, and the bus stop for the school right there, so there would be no lack of a market for people to rent to.

I’m not at all defending the behavior of the rioters…that was disgusting. And people’s cars being destroyed has nothing to do with the dumpy houses. But, from experience, when I lived in one of those dumps, or partied in one of them, I treated it like what it was. The landlords clearly didnt give a Damn about the houses, so why would i? I lived in Loudon Arms apartments across i-90 the year before moving onto Hudson, and I kept that place immaculate because thats how it was when I moved in.

Fast forward one year and a window from the house next to mine FELL OUT and smashed my rear windshield while I was parked in the driveway I had to pay extra rent for. An f*ing window fell off of the house! My back porch leaned at a 45 degree angle. Our heat went out in the dead of winter and my landlord made us freeze for 3 days in subzero temps bc she wouldn’t pay for a plumber. And we had one of the nicer houses on the block. I would venture a guess that 75% of the houses on Hudson wouldn’t even come close to passing an inspection.

Create a cleaner, more positive environment, and you weed out a large portion of the morons that do things like this, because you won’t have to rent to them. Then when they come to the area to party and act like the idiots they are, the people who ARE living there police themselves.

Cool, the parties are still crazy, but honestly some of you are still very dumb. Im surprised Albany accepted some of you as students. Those kids who destroyed those cars should be expelled.

Fucking retards. They should all be thrown out of school and into prison. Or maybe I should just learn how to have fun right?… So exactly where are you idiots parked tonight?

I know a lot of folks who don’t eat eggs (they’re allergic, for health reasons, or concerns about animal cruelty). Here’s an awesome site that gives tips on cooking and baking without eggs: http://EggFreeLiving.com
