I get the feeling if this happened at HBCU things would have been reported a lot differently.
University of Massachusetts Amherst students took to the streets after the New England Patriots’ disappointing Super Bowl loss on Sunday night, climbing trees and poles and throwing beer cans, firecrackers, glass bottles and more.
Six people were arrested and a number of injuries reported as approximately 2,000 people congregated in the Southwest Residential Area of campus, according to school officials.
The school said people gathered on the Southwest plaza shortly after the game ended at 10:17 p.m. Amherst Fire Department ambulances transported 12 people for head injuries, lacerations and alcohol intoxication.
UMass Police said fights broke out shortly after the game ended, and the crowd threw objects and set off smoke bombs and firecrackers.
