Money from the sky

Yesterday, one of my work buddies and I were walking toward our respective buses when at the corner of 3^rd and Pine, several dozen people start shrieking and laughing and running into the street. Right in the middle of commute traffic, blocking six lanes.

Down from the sky – okay, from some jerk on the top of a parking garage – comes floating maybe a hundred dollar bills. It was clear that this was a planned event from the number of young people standing around waiting for the event to start.

These people were disrupting everyone else’s attempts to get home for the sake of one or two dollars each. And of course, when the cops started yelling at them to get out of the street, they made videos which can now be found on You Tube.

There was an undercurrent of “police overreaction” to some of the comments. But the thing is, I watched it all from across the street. The truth is, they got yelled at. Not arrested or in any way manhandled.

They pulled a stupid, dangerous stunt and they got yelled at for it. WA-AH!
