13 Arraigned for UMass Rioting After Friday Red Sox Game 

Thirteen arraigned for UMass Amherst Red Sox rioting. [Holy crap! Skimming the list, I saw that I actually know one of them from high school. Wow.]

I spoke with UMass Boston's student trustee, Omar, today. He was at a Board of Trustees meeting yesterday. Many of the people there were serious about punishing and expelling these kids, to set an example. Some of the kids have reportedly already been kicked out of their dorms. Omar said that he and the student trustee from Worcester were the only ones who stood up and defended the kids, asking for something "not as extreme."

We'll have to see how it plays out.

A former environmental lobbyist runs for Town Hall in Amherst on a platform of stopping UMass budget cuts, and wins.
