  • another example of why the students at this school are dumbshits

  • hahah that night was the shiiiiiit!

  • I am so happy I don't drink and follow the mainstream hip hop culture

  • i fuckin luv my city!!! chico for life!!!

  • Just a bunch of the biggest jack asses I have ever seen. They chant f**k the police, but then run away at the first site of them. That is real bad ass of you. What purpose does this serve? Things like this give the school a poor reputation and just makes all of us seem like a bunch of drunken morons. Because of things like this, I feel like transferring.

  • I agree with TheMetro666. This was idiots thinking they were something badass.

    You want riots? Try L.A. - in 1992. These people wouldn't survive. They would be food.

  • @SurvivalHorrorGrl lol You sound like Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite.

  • This shit was hella fun good night....

  • damn the more i lean about Chico the more i wanna go there.

  • You should check it out before you go. You might not be able to live that lifestyle. Lol its one crazy town

  • thats not a riot....thats a bunch of retards standing around a couch on fire....then they start singing bloodhound gang songs....and chanting chico chico chico but no 1 there is a local...

  • I was born in paradise so ive been around chico all my life. Im a freshmen at chico state now and was in both riots, including this first one from the party til the riot got broken up. once the party got broken up a chick fight started on ivy and everyone ran over to see it. then nobody left the streets. it was such a crazy night. i got shot at by riot police, sprayed by a firetruck, and jumped over a burning couch. craziest night in chico by far

  • what I keep reading is that this is the way to live.

    I don't buy it.

    the cops are the reason this kind of awesome expression is no longer allowed.

    really...

    Anarchists.

    there is so much more to live for than getting drunk off of cow piss and jumping over a burning couch that was probably revolting anyway.

    parties are cool don't get me wrong but mob mentality is not our natural state of mind... I swear that was the most ridiculous argument I have ever heard.

  • that's why you have to burn the couch, cuz it's all old and grody. but people are gonna party like this whether they're burning couches, flipping cars or whatever...but everyone should probably know to leave when the cops show up. duh

  • Chico Chat Room - Check It Out -

    SUPERDOOPZ - DOT - COM

  • That was back in 1987, I know a lot has changed. It's sad. I often read about the school. I came from a small town, Hollister CA.  I didn't have any money, but I got a great education in communications. I worked for the Enterprise Record and loved Chico. Wish I were there now!

  • the real riots took place in 1987. It was created by MTV and the media. In its infancy, after chico getting voted the number one party school in Playboy magazine, MTV decided it would be cool to take a week to go cross country from NY to CA, and end up in chico. Kids from around the country came to party. In the blotter, the arrests were over 100. Only 3 were local people.  cont...

  • I am 17 born and raised in CHICO!

    anyways I just wanted to point out how funny it is how quick people are to judge chico and the people in it just because chico is known as a party town oh and trust me it is but also how your judging us by the college kids stupid actions when in reality most of the college kids arent native to chico! the moral of this is not everyone in chico is all about parties so dont judge people you know absoutly nothing about its rude and uncalled for

    I love living here!

  • Bullshit, natives go to Butte because most cant afford CSUC. These fucking kids come to our town and think they can fuck around just because of the so called name it has, and how much money they have in their family has. I wouldn't have cared one bit if they started tossing kids into the fires, because they fucking deserve it.

  • the was scary!!!!

  • A riot is more worse than this. this is just protesting getting out of hand this is a few stages before a riot. Trust me I have seen riots up close.

  • cops in Chico seem pretty chill. At least they were when I went.

  • Rumours abound that the Chico Police started this riot intentionally. They are trying to drum up support for more police officers. They are concerned that some of them got layed off.

  • Fucking pussyies! t-mann is right, it's just a bunch of pussies yelling around a lit couch!

    I do agree with the "FUCK THE POLICE" chants, but these rich kids are a bunch of pussies!

    THE COPS JUST SPRAYED THEM FOR THE FUCK OF IT, IF THEY ACTUALLY PUT HANDS ON THESE FAGS, MOMMY & DADDY WOULD SUE! This complete pussy shit!

    The nerve of the asshole who posted this & called it a "riot". Fucking fairy!

  • Rich kids go to Chico State?

  • Of course. Chico State is formally known as the "Party School".

  • I've lived in Chico since '79 this is not a riot. what the Hell!

  • everyone here was drunk lol if you werent you were so outta place

  • "my drinking town has a College" as a native to chico i swear i will fell these degenerate drones that belittle and eat away at my town

  • i can believe the police had the fire department spray their firehoses.

    and im really suprised the local news never picked up on this.

    i though the use of fire hose as crowd control was illegal in the US because to of the negative connotation from the use on blacks in the civil rights battles of the 60's

  • They didn't actually spray the students, they sprayed the water in the air to rain down and put out the fire, not to use it as excessive force

  • I watched them spray people

  • don't say shit if you weren't there, because they did spray students

  • haha, that was like 4 blocks away from my house. i wasnt in that area at the time, i was over by California Park at the time, and coincidentally without any knowledge of what was going on in the south-west part of town, me and my friends were listening to the song Riot by 3 days grace.

  • wow! this roit was a waste of time for the police, and firefighters and for everyone else invovled! Why excalty is anyone bothering to go to college? Aren't we suppose to go to college to better ourseleves, not put others in danger. I swear doesn't anybody ever think about anyone other then themselves? Did it ever occur to anyone the police, medical staff, and firefighter have lives and other important things to do instead breaking up a silly good for nothing riot?

  • merlock101: I was offering the massive police presence on Halloween as an example of this civil violation.

    We had the freedom to go downtown unharrassed and unintimidated, now we do not. Many would say that the 'bad apples' messed it up but I've lived here and in this area all my life and I remember how it was. There were problems but not that much more than a usual Saturday, but the crowd sizes scared the police. So they started clearing people from the parks, side walks etc.

  • these kids think their cool n shit, throwin bottles n startin fires like its som kinda fuckin revolution... haha lil pampered white kids aint never been thru shit get the fuck outta here. u donkeys.

  • Unfortunately, you are seeing the "douche bag" side of Chico. I am hoping you are just commenting on this so called "riot" rather than all of Chico, because Chico is pretty cool.

  • no i was originally commenting on the lil mini riot.. but then dumbass people gotta make dumbass comments. im jus sayin, the reason these kids act like that is cause if anything happens to them mommy n daddy will bail them out. they walk around talkin shit like they own the town poppin off to people they dont kno n shit happens.. i love chico tho, but i hate frat boys... period

  • wow big deal.... everybody gettin all excited over a bunch of dumbass lightweight college kids? im lookin forward to more rookies overdosing. an takin bullets to the face. cuz loud mouth pole smokin frat boys annoy the fuck outta me. GO HOME

  • Fuck you, uneducated dirtbag.

  • ya at least i aint in the middle of a street actin like i got dropped off a bridge when i was a baby... chico used to be tight until lame ass people like u wanna proove some bullshit.. an thats y u get ur assed kicked bitch.

  • shut up you whining little pansy. quit sucking police cock.

  • ok, tell me in what way this is going to allow you to have a less restricted Halloween coming up? its only going to cause the fucking "police govt. agency" to have more forces out during the weekend, and be less tolerable to parties or people being drunk in public.

  • LOL.. kids like u that grew up like a straight bitch now ur in college drinkin think ur som kinda rebel. u aint ever done shit besides follow some lil crowd like a sheep. an fuck the police an fuck u. dont talk shit on the computer cause if ur in chico ill whoop ur ass. an i BET ull call the police. bitch

  • this is fucking rediculous, you guys are making our school look like a piece of shit. have some fucking respect.

  • rEdiculous?

  • I want Chico back.

    I want Halloween back.

    I want St. Patrick's day back.

    I want New Year's back.

    I want the backyard rock scene back.

    I want my party town back!

  • You sound like a blithering retard.

  • there is nothing i said that makes me sound like a blithering retard, your comments are narrow minded and lack any factual statements.

  • no you're just suffering from cognitive stupidity and lack the proper mental acuity to comprehend.

  • Nice point, but you have to remember that most college students are children.

  • that is true, but not in the sense that families send their kids out to wander door to door to get candy. college students are still children in the sense that they can still have fun before being tied down to a job and a family, but when was the last time you saw a "child" burning things in the street, throwing things at the police while chanting fuck the police.

  • Exactly, it is that maturity level that keeps them acting like kids.

  • If synthpop(80s keyboard music) is dead then why is lasalles the biggest club night in chico with 400+ people on sat. nights?

    If anything "rock" is dead in chico.

  • synthpopclassics: "oroville wiggers and shit-hop losers" and somewhere back there I think you called someone an 'afro bozo' and some reference to 'chimpanzees'

    I don't care if you and I agree on some points, you sir, are a racist waste of flesh.

    Take your sister back to Alabama, have three toed babies. Keep the race pure!

  • 'Left leaning'? Hell yeah! I'm a leftist libertarian. Do what you will, unless you get in my way.

    Effeminate? I'll kick your backward & inbred ass.

    basement dwelling ghetto-tard?

    Hawh ha haw freakin ha, that's a good one, but actually I was in YOUR mothers attic the other day, bitch my arm all sticky up to the elbow.

  • We lost Halloween.

    We lost St. Patricks day.

    We lost the Labor Day Float.

    We lost the backyard music scene.

    We've lost the freedom to be left alone while out getting inebriated. The cops used to mostly leave people alone unless there was a problem, now just being buzzed or in a large group is a problem.

  • This sort of police action is reprehensible, I hardly ever drink nor attend massive parties, however you shouldn't have to be a target of those actions to understand that they are wrong.

    The right to the pursuit of happiness, or in this case the right to have a good time, is as important as the right to assemble and the right to free speech.

    I remember Halloween. I know how Chico used to be and I miss it.

    Zero tolerance just makes everyone intolerant, and further events such as this one.

  • Check Out Elvis Duck Mania

  • Its easy to dismiss this as drunken fools being rightfully rousted by the police, especially if your not one who goes to such parties.

    However this isn't about just that, this is about a disproportionate response to large gatherings. This is about an incremental creep toward greater and greater restrictons on freedom and personal behavior and the inevitable response to that repression.

    The police are curtailing all parties, not just 'out of control' gatherings.

  • We're losing the right to fully express our primal urges. I hate the fact that the "polite" side of society tries to compensate for this by suggesting a "hobby" or a "sport." Pretty pathetic substitutes for those of us who are truly conscious. I personally started a fight club junior year. Perfect outlet. But even that is against the law. So now I'm pinned to argue with you and others on here, and with people outside who would cowardly sue if I ever physically expressed what I thought of them.

  • Horrible way of living. You're not living because you're in college. You just listened to your parents. It's just another means of survival. Having a life is becoming conscious and connected with your most primal self and others; impossible without communal thinking (i.e. a "mob"). The government, in fact all of civilization and its culture is bringing us to a dumber state. Just because we thrive as a species doesn't mean we're truly enlightened.

  • Let us know when you graduate jr college, retard.

  • I can see the type of person I'm talking to now. Man, it's a mentality like yours that makes it impossible to learn. Your entire comment is based on some twisted assumption of me referring to college as the opposite of enlightenment. When the hell did I say, or even imply that? I pointed out how stupid it was for you to "prove" you're living because you go to college. Going to college is just learning ideas. I go to college. I'd like more money. But I'd also like to live like a human's meant to.

  • You must have missed the city council meeting, moron.

  • @GradhDhu And that's a bad thing?

  • This should be a wake up call to all of Chico.

    I'm a long time resident and have seen a creeping crawl towards authoritarianism among the police regarding the issue of parties. Many of these parties just small gatherings, and if you have a live band your gonna be shut down.

    Ask any long time Chico band, backyard concerts used to be a mainstay. Now you risk losing your equipment, and the host getting a fine.

    Do we not have the right to free assembly?

  • Are you trying to use some kind of reverse psychology with the thumbs down thing? You have no life. Just the fact that you're trying so hard to defend it right here, and the way you're defending it, simply tells me you really don't have a life and people can't stand you. I can tell you're not happy and you're not going to be willing to admit it. You've never done this kind of shit, so you have no right to judge. Sooo, there you go.

  • Hope you're not talking to me, kook.

  • Yeeeaaah, no. I don't think anyone here believes you. You don't even understand what people here are defending, and your "reasons" are closed-minded at best. Peace and quiet isn't mankind's nature, if you haven't noticed. You may say it's your nature but that's because you've never been a part of a mob mentality, our most natural state of being. You've been "scared straight," so to speak. Your anger's resolved here, in pitiful confrontations, then stored up again.

  • The mob mentality is pure stupidity. And yes, I've had the mob mentality. I had it for about 10 minutes that night, until a fist to the temple made me realize that it was stupid and best if I got out of it. Mob mentality is natural to us because it's instinctive and animalistic, but humans are supposed to be above animals.

    Whether or not you think peace and quiet is in our nature, it doesn't change the fact that a cop has to respond when there's a call about it.

  • Only because they're paid to, duh. I'm not undermining a cop's ability, just the law we must abide by. What makes you so sure we're above animals? What makes social evolution (man-made) the "answer" to our natural evolution (God[or whoever]-made)? If a punch to the head makes you complain about our (yours, too) natural behavior, then that just shows me how devolved and incapable you are. You are so fucking pampered. No, it's not stupid. It helps us survive and commune.

  • No, our natural evolution didn't put us on a greater level than animals. I don't understand how you can think we're the first species to use reason. We can thrive easier, but the only reason we're so dominant and have an apparent sense of superiority is through social evolution, which in reality caused nothing but problems for ourselves and the rest of the world. Where has reason gotten us? In a shithole society that takes away the shame system through anonymity and privacy.

  • Then we try to make up for this loss of shame through strictly enforced rules that decreases our conscious awareness of the world and our own nature, which is still there, unhealthily dormant, causing psychological problems. The rest of the technological development causing our physiological problems (i.e. obesity, diseases from living so packed together with others, and animals in tiny stables to increase productivity). Native Americans had it right. Nomads. "Eh" to european industry.

  • I can see that you are completely incapable of applying your logic to anything but the society youre raised in. Yes, the mob mentality DID help us survive. Youve already admitted this mentality was instinct. You think its caused more bad than good? Why, oh why did millions of years of evolution give us this horrible instinct?! And how, with this devastating handicap of mind, could we have possibly survived in the natural world?! Figure it out.

  • From your example, I get this: 1. You somehow think fear comes from reason, not instinct... riiight. Okay, buddy. 2. Gathering from both your stories of that night, you were first having fun and yelling, and shit, then some guy smacks you in the head. You instinctually were going to hit back, and keep the fun going, then you got scared when you saw his size and friends. THAT's when you decided 'this is stupid.' You don't see a problem with your reasoning, here? Haha. 3. You weren't really a mob.

  • We DO, that is why civil disobedience is so important.

  • has anyone who commented lived in chico for a coupple years? i grew up here and iv seen at least 100 burning couches in my day and some mobs holloween andyone? this is just how chico is godbless nothung unusual

  • guess what?

    This was ONE night. Obviously this riot wasn't smart, but it happened because the cops have been breaking up parties WELL before midnight for a while now. They are on a power trip. People who work, go to school all day, and then want to relax and party with friends have every right to be irritated that cops are cracking down the way they are.

  • alright, that stuff was freakin insane, chico is a party college fur sure! haha hilarious stuff

  • Alright seriously? Some people just need to pull out whatever is up their ass...I mean, if you don't expect that in a city filled with tons of students that live without their parents and within a 2 mile radius of each other aren't going to party, then you're the moron. This has been going around for how long?...Yea, I don't believe it's gonna stop anytime soon. So if you're not used to it by now this is probably the time to start trying.

  • I see a bunch of followers in all these videos... A bunch of kids with nothing better to do that blend in with the crowd because it's fun... cool... party time... whatever. It's time to grow up kids. Where have all the leaders gone?... The ones who stand up for what's right regardless of what the "crowd" is doing. I live in Chico and take a lot of pride in the town. Man, what a disappointment.

  • drunken retards with guns = police.

  • Gosh, perhaps because they too often abuse their power and throw away the consitutional and bill of rights of decent citizens by, tasering, bullying, intimidating, threatening, lieing, harrassing, jailing, and in some cases assaulting innocent people.

  • those stories have happened all over the u.s. in 2008 alone. you're free to live with rose colored glasses on but I won't.

    and to your last comment, you just proved my argument, that the police govt. agency haven't nary a fucking clue in regards to following the bill of rights and constitution. Which is precisely why they need competition. We have grocery stores to chose from, why not different law/policing agencies?

    case closed

  • The police shouldn't be the only agency. It's up to the people to create an alternative. It's our town.

  • Instead of cracking down we could have just embraced the event, blocked the streets, had some good music in the park, vendors, exhibitions—and if its an event there could be a ticket price or at least some could be escorted out. It should be managed not repressed.

    Instead were on this path of trying to stamp it out and its only going to cause more violent eruptions.

  • The only thing the police understand is lawsuits.

  • The seamless integration of the military and law enforcement into a single "Internal Security Force" is the defining characteristic of a fully realized police state. Once this fusion is accomplished, the question becomes not "whether" a police state exists, but rather how acute its institutional violence against the subject population will become.

    It's really sad to see how little we can trust our "law enforcement"

    w w w . lewrockwell . com/grigg/grigg-w49 . html

  • False arrest is a legitimate action someone can take on pro se. They need to be put on notice,win or lose, they are going for a litigation ride. Towns and police agencies don't like hiring cops with false arrest litigation history.

  • You know, I'm not sure about everything you just said, but it's definitely a point of view, and could be looked in to, but one thing is for sure: not too many people know the law, and they get screwed over so easily by the cops because of it. I recommend requiring a class in law during middle school or high school. Not sure which, but I never took one, so I don't think it's ever really been brought up, because, to me, it sounds like a really 'why didn't we think of this sooner' kind of idea, eh?

  • well said

  • Then let them come with a warrant. Let them stand before a judge, present evidence supporting a probable cause to believe a crime is imminent or in progress, and let the judge sign a warrant that names exactly what the police expect to find, and where. If they can't manage that, they've no business entering your or my or anyone's home.

  • That's because they are so bought into the "state" and they really believe it only wants to help people.

    I would have gotten his name and badge number. I then would have kept recording the officer and if he would have harrassed him I would have called the watch commander to come down and check him. You are right. When you know your rights and the law, they dont like it because you can use their techniques against them. All legal mind you

  • Why is it that corporate Amerika doesn't want 'high' school grads, and when they do they don't want to pay them more than minimum wage... but the 'cops' will gobble them up and start them at better than $20/hr? Same with the military?! Is it because they will do exactly as they are told WITHOUT QUESTION? Many times have I heard of college educated (though not much better as most colleges are 'state' colleges and don't teach critical thinking) people being turned down... coincidence?! Must be!!

  • That's hilarious, everyone here who is a 'cop' raise your hand, wait, no need. I can pick out the apologists for the state from a mile away. Defend your puny jobs. You people talk about 'constitutional rights' like you have some! Do 'rights' stem from the con-stitution? If you think so, I've got a bridge to sell you! Do cops take an oath to uphold the con-stitution? If so, how many of these so-called defenders of the con-stitution have EVER READ IT?! How can you defend what U don't understand?

  • Wow, it's nice to know I live in the same town with a bunch of drunken idiots that have no respect.

  • Kick out the Oroville dirtbags(and surrounding po-dunk town inbreds), shit-hop retards, wannabe GAYng members, wiggers/chavs, etc. Problem solved. The town needs an enema.

  • /watch?v=6cL79KNBjkM

  • cheeeeeeeeeeeeecccooooooooooo

  • They can't blame this one on Halloween. The police have taken a zero tolerance stance, and this is the result.

    I saw what happened to Chico's Halloween, and it wasn't 'stupid people ruining it for everyone' it was the police.

  • Halloween was big and had relatively few problems, however the large crowd size made the cops nervous. So they would sweep them out of downtown and then they would re-congregate at fifth and Ivy.

    What would have happened if the cops didn't disrupt the party? Probably nothing. But forcing large crowds out in the streets sure had an impact didn't it?

  • Halloween could come back, and if the police could learn a little tolerance it wouldn't be a bad thing. If they don't there will be lots of violence and destruction. I will say it again: the cops provoke the riots.

    I've also noticed that since the labor day float/Halloween/New Years/St. Patrick's day crackdowns, the partying on non-holiday has gotten a lot more out of control. People need this sort of release

  • The police are fucking losers and their only job is to enforce the nanny state govt. and protect big business while fleecing the people by writing tickets.

  • Yes, and their job is to keep the peace.

    Yet in most cases they are more than eager to use all those fun toys they have, to escalate a situation.

    There are areas of town that are party areas, if you don't like that then there are plenty of other places to rent. If you own in those areas, the writing has been on the wall for nearly three decades, more than ample time to buy elsewhere.

    I'm not in support of burning couches, but this is the natural reaction to a creeping fascism.

    Party on!

  • What I'm saying is they should have just let a party be a party, they didn't need to come in in shut things down at all.

    And what was it that was illegal? Disturbing the peace? Seems the police disturbed the peace more than the partyers.

  • I so hate to use ad hominum, however in the case of hypocracy I cannot resist.

    You say that you drink 'some' however your profile says your 19. Isn't that illegal?

  • that's because you're a fucking moron and don't know the law, officer douchebag.

  • the police disturb and harrass the public all the time. they should be fined as well.

    i'd rather we have competition for the police rather than just them as the "enforcers".

  • what are they chanting?

  • This is truly a patheic sight. Those of us that have lived in Chico have seen this behavior before and are certain to see it again. The sad thing is that the majority of the instigators are kids that come from out of town and or out of state to get an education on Mom and Dad's cash coupled with the high school kids that infiltrate the college parties. It does not help that prior to the riots in the mid 80's CSUC was listed in the top 10 party schools in the Playboy college issues. ={

  • hahaha I was there right when it started but I got my friends to leave before anything bad broke out. That was a crazy night.

  • damn i wish i was smart enough to go to a state university, unfortunately Ive been in community college for 5 years now !

  • what I dont get is why those bay area guys who think theyre hard dont start a war with those young transients in downtown who carry knives and rob people or panhandle and use drugs or those black gang banger wannabes behind safeway on columbus. All three of these groups should just take each other out and the cops would have a lot less to worry about.

    and btw why do so many hot high school girls hang out with those hobo transients in down town? Why not party with college folk?

  • Damn

    Wow.

    *Red Bluff*

  • Thanks for giving chico police another reason to lockdown on the area's parties.

  • wow a lot of wasted tax dollars in that picture...and im not talking about the police. im talking about all the idiots that are on grants, scholorships or just their parents bank accounts...ill see all u idiots when im getting some fast food next. a shame that that beautiful town has to deal with dip shits like that

  • This is practically stupid, and insane. It is pretty sad that a handful of immature, drunk (most likely underage) students are giving Chico state a bad name. You act like animals, therefore you get treated like one. Fair & square.

  • Fags

  • Exactly why i didnt go to chico. Fucking dumbasses.

  • Its called being a pussy.

  • I applaude you merlock101. I guess I care more about my future too. I wish all you party puke heads would just grow up and get a life.

  • How very self righteous, "I don't drink I don't use drugs".

    Well you share this world with people who may not live up to your 'standards'. There are people who want to party, and the Chico PD has been pushing back at that for years-yet there's been no real effect. Halloween is closed down so the weekend before is madness. The labor day float is overrun with cops, so they go the day before.

    There is no way to stop this with a jackboot. It should be managed and allowed to breathe.

  • Good for you!

    I actually share that with you, I hardly ever drink and I'm a serious student, but this isn't about you or I, its about the Chico Police attempting to stop the unstoppable. Chico is a party town, and continued repression will only lead to more instances such as this.

    That energy has to go somewhere, and as the parties have been suppressed there has been more violence.
