Quite the party
From the
Bellingham Herald:
Hundreds riot on Indian Street in Bellingham
Police used pepper spray to disperse hundreds of drunk, bottle-throwing college students who rioted late Saturday, Oct. 12, north of Western Washington University.
Bellingham Police broke up a block party at an apartment complex near Jersey Street around 9:30 p.m., said Bellingham Police Lt. Mike Johnston. People leaving the party threw beer bottles and cans at officers, he said. Police called for backup.
A �parade of people� made its way to the intersection, drawing out college students from other parties in the area, said Sam Kaplan, a Western Washington University sophomore who lives near the scene of the riot.
Glass bottles, dishes and cans were thrown at officers, police cruisers, and other rioters, Johnston said.
Officers in riot gear used pepper balls, smoke and flash-bangs to disperse the crowd of 300 to 400 that refused to leave the intersection, Johnston said.
