The air around Davis should be clear right about now, thanks to the efforts of hundreds of bored students with no classes to attend and plenty of loose rubble to throw at the skies.
According to a Facebook event posting, a horde large enough to fill the Chem 194 lecture hall several times over was planning to "Throw rocks at the smoke to make it go away".
"Alright comrades! Class was cancelled but let's still throw some rocks! Throughout the day, when you get a chance, just pick one up and throw it north and slightly east!" read a Facebook invite that had 3,500 listed as attending.
Organizers cautioned participants to, "...limit outside exposure, wear a mask if possible and don't exert yourself. Also please do not throw rocks at people, animals, cars, windows etc. We're just aiming at the smoke."

This is the school that banned the US Flag not so long ago... Remember?
The student council deemed it a “symbol of oppression” and “potentially offensive.”
Shades of king Canute.

Think how much good could have been done using that human energy to clean up some trashy park or work on Habitat for Humanity homes.
Someone bring a jet engine. That will get rid of the smoke pretty fast.
Is this real?? can they be that stupid??? God help us...

It would be a lot smarter to throw ice cubes, yea?
Is this is some kind of third world sheephole kind of thing?
>>>Why don’t all you California Fruits & Nuts go piss on the flames??? You can put the fire out....<<<
Not with all that alcohol in their stream.
“My 17 yr old grandson is smarter than that. “
I would hope a 7 year old or 5 year old child is smarter than that.
Maybe they can get Lieawatha Warren to lead them in a rain dance to extinguish it?
These people remind me of the Eloi in the “Time Machine”.
I totally agree. Since you’re powerless against natural events you might as well throw rocks to release frustration. I think it’s rather amusing.
It’s believable from liberal college millennials.
Throwing rocks at smoke to scare it away is settled science.
Although, their actions would have been more effective if they had made scary faces at the smoke while throwing the stones. Badass witchery.
The ‘sad’ part of this is that no one had the inspiration to charge these fools for the honor of throwing things to make the smoke go away.
Figure at least one entrepreneur among 3500 or so people.
They gotta use pop rocks and sofa
I love the term another Freeper alluded to: “Peak USA”. We are regressing as a society.
