Uninformed?

I’m not even 40.

I was in college just 15 years ago and I had the same opinion then. I was that age, you know.

Now, we commonly have RIOTS where people get killed and people’s property and livelihoods are ruined because these spoiled brats are upset their team lost.

And it’s not just “certain kinds” of college towns, either.

Of course this is all hyperbole, but it is CLEAR to me, and I lived through it (as did my brother 10 years older), that “selfish hedonist” is a good description of far too many college students now. Their % of the college population is great enough to cause problems if things get crazy - which they frequently do.

That is NOT a good reason to disarm students. Heck that is a reason why then need protection.
