In the aftermath of last Friday’s riot at a Dead Prez show on the campus of Olympia, Wash.’s normally bucolic (and boring) Evergreen State College, where suddenly agitated students flipped over a police cruiser and began lobbing rocks at officers, school officials have banned all future concerts until they can figure out how to avoid a repeat of the kaos. The riot earned Dead Prez a polite “thanks but no thanks” from the next stop on their tour, the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, where students are much more likely to erupt into violence thanks to being forced to live in Tacoma.
