Yup, last year there was a riot near the school. From what I gathered there were a ton of drunk people milling around in the streets (Foothill & California), the police tried to clear the streets & herd people around, and a riot broke out because people got pissed off.
Now this year it was police-state central - no M.G. celebrations at all and the city was absolutely clamped down by cops. There were battalions of cops in full riot gear
marching through the streets in formation in a show of force, or some shit, even though there was nothing going on. Bunch of dickheads.
