I lived in Keene, NH for a year back around 1999.  It's a hick college town in the middle of nowhere and every year their claim to fame is their annunal Pumkin festival.  Well it was over the weekend and apparently a bit of a riot broke out among college kids from Keene State partying nearby.  Here's the link to the story that is on drudge report:  http://www.boston.com/news/local/new-hampshire/2014/10/18/swat-teams-reportedly-deploy-tear-gas-pepper-spray-against-keene-state-partiers/hkBfMD61s2KsPj5SaArPLI/story.html You have to see this clip of Les Nessman Jr. trying to report on the rioting and the head organizer is trying to cock block him.  it's hillarious: http://youtu.be/1yLYgSNyEtk This is an article on it:  http://www.boston.com/news/local/new-hampshire/2014/10/19/pumpkin-fest-organizer-loses-cool-over-riot-broadcast/vxg5SxaAxkAF3aX3Df12cN/story.html
