Flutterby™! : Keene Pumpkin Fest

Apparently last night in Keene, New Hampshire, rowdy revelers overran the Pumpkin Festival. Reading between the lines, it was self-entitled frat boys from Keene State College. I've been following a whole bunch of Twitter feeds of people involved in Ferguson and St. Louis awareness, and I think it's worth re-posting some snark.

First off, note that in CNN: New Hampshire Pumpkin Festival crowd sets fires, throws bottles there is mention of "bonfires in the streets". Not arson.

I haven't seen this particular clip, but RT C. Jay Conrod @cjayconrod:

If you still don't get white privilege, it's feeling comfortable enough to tell a CNN reporter your name and age while vandalizing a town.

RT Scary Blah Lady @AngryBlackLady

White ppl looting at Lacoste.

That's the whole joke.

Just "white people looting at Lacoste." #keenepumpkinfest
