OK, Forget the Drunk Tank
What we need is a "stupid tank", a place to lock up ignorant, snotty-assed kids (like this guy and his Rhodes scholar girlfriend) until they smarten up. Granted, that might take a while, but I don't think society would be any worse for the wear in the interim.
Words fail me.
I sincerely hope these kids do not accurately reflect on the caliber of students and graduates being churned out by the public schools in the enchanted village of Brookline, but I have my doubts.
Too much fun, too much booze, and too many suburban truants added up to a lot of snowballs, a spate of brawls, 37 arrests and a police sweep before the 2005 Patriots Super Bowl celebration officially could be called over.

Despite repeated loudspeaker calls for the crowd to go home, some didn't get the message. One Brookline youth was arrested for throwing a snowball at the cops, and his friend narrowly avoided arrest as she argued with police.
"He didn't even hit the cop!" said Vena Priestly, 17 of Brookline. "It's unacceptable how they are treating us! Treat us with respect, and we'll treat them with respect! They're not even saying please!"
Words fail me.
