By Thomas Bradley
Sunday, May 15, 2011
About 10 minutes before Columbus police officers used tear gas to clear the area, hundreds of students party on Woodruff Avenue east of High Street on Saturday night. Police officers reported that several house parties had gotten out of control and the parties had flooded into the streets.

the third guy looks like he is really happy he didn't get beat up by police officers.

The permit process isn't difficult or time consuming; it requires getting the form and attending the area commission at their monthly meeting to get it approved. I hope that Sgt. Weiner was misquoted.

Same old same old.
1. Students get out of control.
2. Police over react, people get hurt, situation gets worse, police get even more aggressive.
3. No one learns anything, situation keeps repeating ad nauseum.
It would be nice if we could at least have a clear cut right/wrong in these situations. Instead we get douches with badges beating douches with entitled attitudes.

Area commission... the same group of people that keep code enforcement on speed dial?
Yeah, I can see how that wouldn't be difficult or time consuming at all.

no.
ETA: I'd explain the difference between an elected/appointed body that reports to the city council and individuals who repeated deal with shitty landlords and their tenants, but then it might appear as though I'm being churlish.

Because there's no crossover between those groups at all.

The photos show a very dangerous situation: students completely blocking the Public Right of Way (Street) and a multitude of students on porch roofs. What if someone drove down the street and ran over a couple of kids or if the porch roofs gave way and ... (you get the picture). The Police did the right thing here, they were assuring the safety of public and property (public and private).

one can grant a permit, the other can't but keep trying, I'm sure you'll make a comment that has relationship to fact eventually.

Both groups seem neither difficult nor time consuming. Really. Schwertogawd.

If there are a thousand students spilling into the street, then the police are probably going to get involved. That's why they make the orange fences mandatory. I didn't think they were allowed having "block" parties anyway. Every action has a reaction. Some cops can be kind of an ass but I'm sure the students were asking (or yelling) for it. What did they think was going to happen? Duh.

A co-worker's brother was suspended indefinitely by OSU because of his involvement in the Chitfest riots. He kept reapplying to OSU, but they never let him back in. He ended up getting an associates degree at Columbus State after being turned down at a lot of other schools. It really messed up his academic career. If I have a kid, he is going to hear this story a couple of times. It is very easy to kiss away a lot of opportunities.
