Proving that every generation gets the Altamont it deserves, five people were sent to the pokey after a Washington state Warped Tour stop broke out into a “riot,” where porta-potties were set ablaze and an angry mob of mall punks and their molls began lobbing garbage and rocks at police. Calm, cool, and collected authorities sent “10 agencies”–which of course could mean anything from rent-a-cops to the feds–to quell the uproar. A spokesman for the angry mob claimed they weren’t going to back down until their demands were met, namely that the snack bar lower the price on the bottled water and Brody Dalle at least attempt to reconcile with Tim Armstrong.
