Open Soapbox: Steamboat Riot

(To the tune of “Zoot Suit Riot,” obviously):

Who’s that mob running in the haze?
Just some thugs at Steamboat Days
Hurdle fences, walk on vans
Who’s your daddy? Yes I am

Runners come to race
And young boys come to brawl
You’d best stay away
When they shoot pepper balls

Steamboat Riot (Riot!)
Race you to the county jail
Steamboat Riot (Riot!)
Use the prize money for your bail

Okay, so I’m not a lyricist. Or even a good satirist. But you get the idea. What did you all think of the Steamboat Riot the other night? Here are a couple articles from the Journal Star on it:

Steamboat Festivalgoers Arrested AFter Fights Erupt
Police Review Carnival Crime
