I love UTC, but you can't tell me that we have the most pride in our school. The rave (even if mace was used, even if 5 got arrested, even if you didn't like it) brought all aspects of the student body together. So have fun raining on everyone's parade, but I promise if you just cool out you will have a better experience at college.
My mom once said if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all so I will just swallow my words.
Man all I can say is why can’t we talk about any situation dealing with policemen and college kids without throwing out 9/11 or STD’s. Come on you are better than that. The Flash Rave was the single greatest even I have attended at UTC. If you are too dull and boring to enjoy it, that’s on you, but seriously we are mature, we can deal with stress the same as you, and most of all we can have some fun during finals week.
I think what makes some people on here the maddest is that the kids at the flash rave had fun at college instead of studying. Let’s be honest with ourselves, the rave took place at 11 at night. If you are studying at 11 you #1 have real bad time management skills and/or #2 probably aren’t studying at all, you are most likely taking with your friends.
Please get over yourselves it was fun and it’s just ridiculous that anyone would think we were rioting.
I feel like fun should just be outlawed in Tennessee. College is ONLY for studying. No one should talk going to and from classes, and smiles could punishable by making white sheets of paper gray. I also feel that we should never show school spirit or have any club other than our very prestigious academic clubs.
I mean really if you didn’t want to take part in it that’s all well and good, but PLEASE don’t rain on the kids who had a good time’s parade. No one forced you to get up and look out the window; no one forced you to turn off your iPod and start complaining. Have fun at college, and I promise you will have a lot better experience.
Once again, it was simple and fun. No broken necks, no birth of the anti-Christ… just some college kids having some fun. I’m not saying the police didn’t do their jobs, but really if you watch the video, there was more risk of having a “stampede” after the pepper spray was used. Chill out, we have fine judgment. By reading the comments on here you would think we were burning American flags and condoning the acts of Hitler.
Look, all of your life you hear "college is the best time of your life." I'm not sure about the rest of the readers on here, but I enjoyed it. Everyone knew the rave (not the riot) was only going to last ten minutes and then we all were going back to studying or whatever else we had planned. I’m proud to say that we had a flash rave party, and I promise anyone that attended would have no problem doing it again. Lighten up, it was a bunch of college kids having some fun and trying to break up the monotony of finals week. From reading all the other comments I guess we were the first people ever to have fun in Chattanooga.
Students Maced at UTC
No, everyone should be kicked out... Really?
Any reasons to back that up, because if you have good ones, I want to hear them.
Update: Rowdy partygoers Maced outside UTC library
Well get over it because I'm here to stay.
