‘Rafting Gone Wild’ Results In River Brawl, 12 Arrests

You got young men + scantily clad young women + beer, good chance there will be some fights break out. Doesn't matter what generation, this stuff would have happened back in the late 70's when I was in my early 20's, except in those days there probably would have been a cloud of reefer smoke hanging over the whole thing. Not that I condone this of course.

In the late 70's if you would have smelled reefer you probably would not have seen a fight. If all the party had was booze a fight would have been a certainty. Not that I condone this of course.

There was a comment down below on that article from someone in St. Louis that said him and his friends floated from the Steelville area and they bever did anything like this. He said here in Mo we know how to do it right!! LOL

Another fine display by our "X" Generation.

Unless I am mistaken, there are several accounts of drunken displays from you, long after you were that age.

With regards to this story, can you really pin this on my generation? I guess fights during organized protests never happened before Gen X/Y reached this age, right?

If the man is looking to arrest people might I suggest they look on the Spring River EVERY weekend from May thru September. They will need to bring school buses to haul them off in though.

and a river and sky full of law enforcement did absolutely zero to prevent issues. wonder what all the real criminals were doing while all the cops were hanging out at the river?

Well its mostly water patrol that's assigned to the rivers. So the highway patrol is still out enforcing the rules of the roads unless backup is needed. The arrest and convictions must occur to help cover the additional law enforcement, criminal and court system jobs and help justify the funding for those jobs. So river holligans only put themselves in that position and can blame themselves for their arrests and money lost due to their actions. Obey the law, be kind to your neighbor, think before you act, behave like a civil person and you have nothing to worry about. And if your being negatively affected by othersacting unruly that's what the cops are there for. To serve and protect the innocents rights even if it means sorting an event out after it occurred. Enforcement was never intended to be personal bodyguards.
