Good Lord were we busy last night. Color in December joined us for the first hour. A really cool group of guys, so if you're in Kent Satruday night check them out at the Robin Hood. They'll also be playing at the May 4th Commemeration on Monday.
Their MySpace is here and they've got some good tunes up right now as well.
Then Sarah Steimer of the Daily Kent Stater joined us to talk about the College street riots this past Saturday night since she was there. The more and more details that come out, the more and more this looks like a case of the police overreacting and making a tense situation even worse which led to the chaos that happened. If you haven't heard about all of this yet, check out Kent News Net Head to the opinion section for an editoral called That's All Mr. President? about our president Lester Lefton's total lack of response and rebuking of a DKS report when she called him for comment at 10:30 on a Saturday night. And as I said last night, your job does not end at 5pm on Friday, and just because there was no activity on your campus property, it involved your students who are paying you a rather handsome salary. Apparently, that much money doesn't buy a concern for your student's safety or support in the community. As far as I know, there still hasn't been any other statement made by the prez's office since the very PR'ed presser Sunday. That and more and more details are coming to light about the police trying to sway some public opinion in this case. There was a report that an officer from a nearby jurisdiction have been called in to help Kent police, and then passed away of a heart attack later on at his home. Well, truth is the guy never come to the scene, possibly because of the heart attack. So this will be interesting to see how community and university reaction plays out over the next few weeks. So, I have to reiterate the question... is that all Mr. President?
