Fenway bracing for post-Super Bowl trouble

Fenway? Colin the Bold reports parking meters all around the neighborhood are already plastered with "No Parking Sun - Mon" signs. Huh? Oh, right, Boylston Street, the preferred rioting grounds of students everywhere.
But lest one think the BPD is discriminating against Northeastern and BU students, Police Commissioner Ed Davis warns he will brook no nonsense from anybody Sunday night:
Davis said come Sunday night, police will be on every corner near college areas.
That's a lot of corners, from Brighton to downtown.

there were "no parking
there were "no parking Monday" signs up along Cambridge Street in Boston (by Mass General). No idea why, and it may not be Superbowl related at all.
A simple formula
Beanbags and tear gas canisters. And, plenty of horses. Nothing disperses a crowd like a charging horse.
college kid riots
Nothing else can match hordes of drunken college kids trashing Boston because they are "celebrating". Very few are actually from Boston. They destroy property, tip over cars, light fires, smash windows, while their parents sit at home in Prides Crossing mailing fat checks to the institutions of "higher learning". It's enough to make you puke except that some shitfaced freshman probably has already.
Boyfriend and I sat around
Boyfriend and I sat around watching Red Sox riots going "stupid kids... that horse is gonna kick them if they get any closer."
Personally, if I was wasted, I'd be terrified of a horse towering above me.
