Riot?

UMD students rioted just off campus last night after receiving news of Osama bin Laden's death. Justice served, but is a riot of celebration really the right move?

"I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."

- Martin Luther King Jr

    completely agree. i'm glad that this era of history has passed, but no way in hell would i go down to the capital to celebrate the death of anyone.
