Springfest

This past weekend was springfest. This is where pretty much everyone at JMU drinks outside during the day all weekend. It pretty much a phenomenon. I wasn't around to see it but people started throwing things for some reason and it got out of hand. The crowd got so crazy that a riot squad had to tear gas the crowds. I am definitely so embarrassed that this had to happen at my school. Quite frankly I don't care that "most of the kids weren't JMU students". Of course people say this because they don't want to feel responsible. I'm sorry but for some reason these people were here and I've seen how people don't stand up to something. I was on a bus Friday night where this dickhead guy was telling a group of girls he was going to "fuck" them and calling them bitches. Did the guys these girls were with defend them? No. They just sat there. Did anyone on the bus do anything? No. They just sat there. Finally after 20 minutes of him harassing them I marched over and told him to stop harassing them. He was looking for a fight and tried telling me he would knock my teeth out but I got away before that could happen. I was the only one to say something and I find that really sad. JMU's lack of assertiveness has really shown through this past weekend. I find this campus to be somewhat apathetic towards alot of things. I imagine something could have been done to stop the "rioting". It takes two to tango and takes a few more to riot. I'm embarassed I was part of Springfest and I'm embarassed for my school which I usually have so much pride in.
