America at Play

What do Americans do on a holiday weekend?  Riot:
UPDATE: MIAMI 'WAR ZONE' DURING URBAN WEEKEND...
'I was scared for my life'...
Poet 'Da Real One' Gunned Down In Front Of Miami Poetry Cafe...
Violent crime explodes in Myrtle during Black Bike Week; 8-hour hell...
Rib Fest At Rochester beach turns rowdy...
Riot On Long Island...
Urban Melee In Charlotte...
Chaos causes DNC concern for convention...
Unruly urban crowd shuts down Nashville water park...
TEEN GANGS UNLEASHED ON BOSTON BEACH
Sounds like the rainbows and unicorns had the weekend off.

When I was a kid we used to have the annual "Strawberry Riots" on Memorial Day weekend.  The Strawberry Festival in Garden Grove always seemed to have fights and problems breaking out.  I can remember hearing helicopters circling over the Festival which was located not too far from our house.

Rioting on Memorial Day weekend must be an American tradition.

It was quiet where I am. Maybe one of those mostly-east-coast things. I did see crowds on Saturday, but that was 30 miles away.

And what does President Obama do on Memorial Day? Play golf at the Fort Belvoir golf course. Shameful.
