Take heart, Saratogian readership: just look at the douchebaggery that Skidmore kids aren’t participating in. According to some website about farming equipment, Talib Kweli jetted from Saratoga Springs only to get hung up in Chicago and miss his post-Skidmore show at University of Minnesota. Quoth the man’s Twitter, “Sorry minneapolis! Still stuck at ohare tried my best…catch you on the rebound” The Gopher faithful were not amused.

Riot batons, chemical irritants, sound diversionary grenades, and non-lethal projectiles were among the scary-sounding equipment riot police used. So, y’know, maybe we can get some perspective here: locals, does one hundred odd kids smoking weed in an essentially confined area seem so bad now? Students, likewise with CamPo asking you to pour a beer out on Fun Day?
