Another Bus Story

So I'm going to following hot.pork's trend and tell a story about my bus ride today.

It's about 5:30, maybe a little later. I'm done with classes, and my main goal is get back to my room by 6, so I can watch "The Simpsons." That's all I want to do right now. I don't know what episode is going to be on, and yeah, I could technically watch any Simpsons episode whenever I want because of the marvelous internet. But I still wanted to watch it.

The bus is really crowded, but I manage to get a seat towards the back. Then this large girl comes and starts talking to the guy sitting next to me, in Japanese. Hey, I used to know that one, sort of. Luckily they weren't that advanced, so I could stay with them. The guy next to me hasn't studied yet or done his homework due tomorrow! Uh oh.

Anyway, then the girl starts talking about her crazy Tuesday night. Obama blah blah blah! At first it was fine. I mean, he won. That's cool. She's not bothering me, and she smelled nice, which was cool. Then she starts talking about the riot she participated in.

Sigh.

"I went into my friend's room after they called it for him. We talked a little while, then heard people outside and I said, 'Let's go riot!' So we did. It was great. We were just walking around, singing the national anthem and all these patriot songs, and all high-fiving each other. We didn't break anything. And the police really helped us out. They escorted almost all the way to downtown, and were closing off streets for us. They even mentioned how orderly we were on the news, unlike a few other people who celebrated by burning couches and stuff."

You dumb bitch. First off, in Pittsburgh, when you celebrate you burn couches. I don't get what you don't understand about that. That's just what you do. It's not a celebratoin without a couch burning. Secondly, that's not a riot. That's a parade.

A real riot doesn't have a police escort. It has police brutality. A real riot doesn't sing the national anthem. It sings protest songs. A real riot doesn't not break anything. It takes leaves a Tasmanian Devil-like path behind it.

I'm sick of people thinking they've rioted when all they did was walk around in the streets and hihg five a bunch of people. You celebrated, cool. Call it that. If you're going to riot prepare flip a car, burn a couch and get hit by a car.

Same goes for you Phillies fans out here. You didn't riot either. You went outside and yelled. It was annoying. I wish nothing but sports failure on your city.

But Adaham, have you ever rioted? No. No I haven't inquisitive reader. I'd be willing to if something awesome or horrible enough happened. But until then, no, I have not particpated in a riot.

And neither have most people who go around telling people they were in a riot. Because they're fucking idiots. I hate you all, and hope a cop beats the living shit out of one day. Then tell me you rioted, and I'll laugh becase a cop beat you.
