This ain't Podunk USA, and you are not in any way cool enough or superior enough to be looking down on anyone in the EV and call them "locals."

And it gets worse each year which is why the police, politicians, community boards, neighborhoods, neighborhood bars, and even the media, who were also all 'oh, it ain't so bad', have turned on Santacon. It <em>is</em> that bad.<br /><br />If you knew ANYTHING about the neighborhood, you'd know this frat culture of walking around in packs, in costumes, and getting blackout drunk while making a complete ass of yourself never existed in the EV until the late 2000s. Drugs? Sure. But people bought them and brought them home. They didn't walk around in a mob of 30,000 assholes, concealing their identities, and destroying property.<br /><br />As I've said many times, of all the things people could take a stand for these days, Santacon is not one of them. Do you really need a special day to get extra black out drunk?! I thought your type calls those weekends.NOTORIOUSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-9208518672802311742014-12-09T10:09:04.012-05:002014-12-09T10:09:04.012-05:00Oh come on now.
