Northeastern students fight for their right to party - and lose

Boston Police report busting up a rousing good time at a pre-finals bash on Mission Hill early this morning.
Police say that when officers responded to a loud-party complaint at 72 Hillside St. around 1:30 a.m., a bunch of young partiers outside promptly ran inside and locked the door. Police say the officers gained entry, followed their ears up to the third floor and demanded all non-residents vacate the premises. Then, they say, they told the leaseholders they'd be issued a citation, which police said upset them enough to get thim to start yelling about how the officers hadn't read them their rights. One of the officers replied rights reading wasn't required because the students were only being issued a citation, not being arrested.
Officers left the apartment, and within a few minutes while on the next street over, could clearly detect loud music and loud banging coming from the same apartment. Officers then returned to the same apartment and there spoke to the residents about the loud music. The residents when questioned about the loud music and the banging in the apartment exclaimed to officers, "I do not know what you are talking about!" The four residents again continued to be totally uncooperative and belligerent with officers. After numerous failed attempts to get the residents to cooperate, they were arrested.
One of the students took to Twitter this morning to complain:
Just spent the night as jail bait in the slammer. For having a party. #fuckthepolice
Before the cops came, Pre-Finals Blackout Rageface Booze Ripper 11 was epic.

Not for having a party - for
Not for having a party - for being a douchebag. And thank God for the douchebag statute.
Northeastern
Will Northeastern's code of conduct result in these d-bags getting suspended or their diplomas delayed? Shouldn't learning not to be an asshole in the town in which you attend school be part of the school experience?
Yes, off-campus incidents are
Yes, off-campus incidents are reported to the respective school the offenders attend. Mission Hill is a major trouble area and is under strict surveillance by the police and has partnered with all neighboring schools. If you attend school in this area, Mission Hill is a bad place to have a rowdy party because the police coverage is so dense and concentrated that the risk is too high.
"jailbait"
Seems this kid has invented a new definition. Maybe he'll know what the girls he was probably trying to slip roofies felt like.

11
11 years of school down the drain!
Might as well...
...join the fucking Peace Corps.
Gee, if Northeastern is
Gee, if Northeastern is allowed to demolish the YMCA gym they will be right across the street from a Liquor Store!
Having a party is one thing, but excessive noise...uh-uh!
It sounds as if the residents of that particular apartment deserved to finally get arrested after persistently refusing to cooperate with the cops and turn their music way down, even after several complaints were made to the cops about excessively loud music coming from that same apartment during the wee hours of the morning, when most people are sleeping. No sympathy for those kids...they deserved to get into trouble.
Oh, and I also might add that, yes, part of getting an education is learning not to be an A-hole to one's neighbors in the place where one resides.
NEU should kick these students to the curb for a semester
Some of the work done at Northeastern is even better than that of their counterparts at MIT. But then you get idiot jerks like these students, or the rioters a few years ago, who make NEU look like a summer camp for rich fratboy douchebags.
I live across the street and
I live across the street and I'm sad I went to bed before this happen.
One word!!
IDIOT
you gotta fight! for your
you gotta fight!
for your right!
to paaaaaaarty!
They deserve it
I can honestly say that these kids deserved it. I live close and hear music till 3/4 in the morning. They must not have anything to do in the mornings. I feel bad for anyone that lives in the same house as them.
HAHAHA yes. i used to live
HAHAHA yes. i used to live below these douchebags. i'm 22, dont mind partying, but when its at 3am on a tuesday night when you have work the next day and politely asked them to turn down at least the bass, it's the worst. i moved out partially because of them.
You should not have had to move out, anon.
The landlord of the place should've given the troublemakers who lived above you a warning; to either shape up, or face eviction proceedings, and if the kids causing all the trouble still didn't shape up after the warnings, then they should've been evicted.
