That wikipedia article reads like a poorly organized wikipedia article.

regarding summer solstice, there was no shot, but a dude was stabbed in the rain city parking lot.

perhaps if the fucking cops in this city did something proactive like i dunno, walking the streets or biking where all the action was (um, not at the funeral home, dumbasses).

had they done that instead of sitting in their rv watching porn and sucking each other off, it might not have happened. there were several hit and runs, people passed out cold. congratulations SPD on fucking up yet again. how many DUIs should have been issued last night? They turned their backs and let countless people drive completely shitfaced. fucking awesome douchebags. and to the drunk-driving asshole that hit our car, stole the mirror you knocked off, and didn't bother leaving a note: karma's got a big fat one coming right for your tiny sphincter, too. you are really lucky you didn't kill anyone. all of you bitches are. fucking clowns. what a joke.

You sound like you don't fit in around Fremont, mike.

It's ok if you don't visit us for another year, we'll understand.

Really.

mike lives in fremont and he and fellow partiers crashed at his pad and then had a delicious breakfast fry-up sunday morning. so there was no driving, but thanks for playing, douchebags.

to further show the incompetence of SPD, a bike was stipped in front of their eyes during the fiasco that was called by one, "as raucous as mardi gras in pioneer square before it got shut down"

i'm not saying there shouldn't be a solstice parade, there should, and the focus should be on that. the thousands of douchebags that felt it was neccesary to get extremely drunk aftwerwards, harass women, leave busted bottles and trash all over fremont, drive intoxicated, damage cars, piss in front of my neighbors kids and leave a pool of vomit on my steps, i could see how you'd think i don't fit in here in "loverly fremont". i mean, every homeowner, especially one who has been here for several years and isn't a newbie DINK buying a shitty ass condo that just went up, loves it when their shit is defaced all in the name of "fun"

i'm all for a big party, but if it's gonna be like this in the future, it'd be nice if the city would seriously act like fucking adults... shut down local streets(like in most other "scary" cities) and have the cops actually out walking about policing instead of hanging out with their friends playing cards and grabass.
