Random Thought of the Day: Sometimes I Wish I Lived In London

Because something like this would never happen in America:

Six London Underground stations were closed as trouble flared when thousands of people marked the banning of alcohol on London transport with a party.

Four tube drivers, three other staff members, and two police officers were assaulted, and there were 17 arrests.

Several trains were damaged and withdrawn from service, which led to suspended services.

Drinkers gathered on Tube trains and station concourses for a last drink before the ban came in at midnight.

Police said what should have been a fun event came to an “unfortunate” end.

I gotta say, it looks like tons of fun. Hannah said she went, and that it was. If anyone wants to throw something similar on the DC Metro system, shoot me an email…
