Pfft. It was a minor thing in the news in Austin already. Teenagers got into a fight and were arrested. It wasn't a riot just the Mistakesman trying to gin up a story. Move along, nothing to see here.

Should we call the Texas National Guard?

Yup - it would have only been a story if APD had to defend themselves

So it is totally over-hyped here:

I wondered if that might be the case.

It was out of control and required a large amount of officers to get under control. The media showed some footage as well. Sign of the times I guess

Considering the parking at the time of the House of Torment is always a chaotic with hundreds of teenagers, not that different. Not a great area though. We had been told the place was moving soon to a new location. Would be nice if that occurred.
