In fact, all of those consequences you listed, have been faced by students breaking the law during St. Patties day, none of those students could have claimed "oh everyone was doing it".
The point I'm making here, is you all seem to think St. Patties day is a lawless wasteland of criminal activity, I'm pointing out it is no more lawless than an average Regional Road, and yet, somehow, our attitudes are vastly different (including the police response).
Why would you charge people who end up in the hospital? And for what? Charging people who put others in the hospital *DOES* happen when they commit illegal acts in doing so.
Except the average Regional Road doesn't require an extra $500,000 to police.
That's my point, the students aren't choosing to have vast police resources poured into this, it's the city and police departments which are doing so. Fischer-Hallman could easily have 500k of policing spent on it, if the citizenry was in an uproar about the lawlessness on Fischer-Hallman, instead we're only spending that on policing students.
