“There were about 4,000 kids in this backyard and it almost felt like a war zone,” said Ellery Murray, a sophomore at Keene State. “People were just throwing everything they could find -- rocks, skateboards, buckets, pumpkins. It was actually kind of scary.”

“[Police] were wearing shields and knee-pads and had all these dogs herding people out of the yard into the street,” said Murray.

Murray said she was at large house party near the festival early Saturday afternoon when people started lobbing beer bottles and other objects into the crowd.

A few years from now they’ll be whining for student loan forgiveness.

Ah! That must be the "Free" part of "Free Keene".

This used to happen every May during spring weekend at UCONN.

State and local/campus police try to keep the revelers under control/limit property damage, death/injury. The kids are trying to incite the cops to *brutality*...it's a stupid game.

Not long ago, there was a flap about the BearCat the Keene got from the feds. The *FreeKeene types seized on this as another reason to harass the local cops.

I bet the kids were hoping the cops would roll out the BearCat

I assume that’s a BearCat in the picture.:-)

I know the NYPD has them too.

Yeah,the kids would really have something to complain about if they brought that out.

Yes, it's a BearCat

In 2012, Keene accepted a $285,933 BearCat through a federal Homeland Security grant.

Careful what you wish for:

**Recently, Keene's BearCat and its opposition have been highlighted by national media because of the military-like response to protesters of a police shooting in Ferguson, Mo.

In a recent episode of the Comedy Central news satire show "The Colbert Report," the city's application for the militarized vehicle was mocked in a segment about the Ferguson situation.

In the segment, Colbert read selected sections of Keene's application for the BearCat in which it named the annual pumpkin festival as a reason police needed the specialized military vehicle. "The threat is far reaching and often unforeseen . Keene currently hosts several large public functions to include . an annual Pumpkin Festival."**

Says Keene, N.H., requested a "military-grade armored personnel truck," citing their annual Pumpkin Festival as "a possible target" for terrorists. — John Oliver on Sunday, August 17th, 2014 in a segment on his show, Last Week Tonight

The best way to deal with spoiled punks is to crack them over the head with a nightstick. I would hit the idiot with the mask covering his face first.

A local referred to that as a ‘hickory shampoo’...haven’t heard that in some time.

> The out of state students will return to vote democrat in a couple of weeks...

Yes, they will vote democrat in at least one Keene precinct and by absentee ballot in their home towns.

They have boasted about this in the past.
