First of all Harrison Lee you are a terrible journalist. You haven’t checked any off the facts that you have have reported here in your article. First fact that is not true this was a one night thing not a 3 day bender. Yes there was underage drinking and the house was deemed unsafe but there was no 911 call by any of the neighbors all 3 nights. Police caught wind of a party at this house that parties are a common occurrence and the town police decided that Saturday night was the night that they were going to make this a bigger deal than it actually was and instead of letting the party goers get back to the homes, dorms, etc. they held everyone in the house stated “tonight’s going to be a record breaking night” as they laughed and continue degrading college age kids for attending a party. The deputy chief of the the Bridgewater Fire Department joked with a shooken Perez that “he wasn’t be THAT racist” when he asked where Perez was from. The 2 people who decided that they were going to be clever and escape through the windows were purely scared of their education being in jeprody and tried to flee. The house was condemned not due to the party or even parties that have occurred in that house but because the landlord who rents to the college student has not step foot on the property in at least 2 years had failed to make sure that the smoke detector system, that had been unwired prior to the residents moved in ,worked. He also failed to comply with various other health hazards the house had not due to partying. The couches that are the focal point of every news story we not piled on the front lawn till after the police had wasted town resources to cart students from the house to the station in groups of 6 at 5am after everyone includeing the residents were out of the house. The police, fire department, and possibly the landlord piled the future on the front lawn not the residents or party goers. The town of Bridgewater MA and Bridgewater State University have been in this war of policy and power for quite some time and the safety of students or people was not in mind when the cops showed up that Sunday morning. It was more how bad can we make this seem for the school, renters, landlords, college students, and how much money we can make. $40 x 41 + other charges, you do the math. There’s a bigger issue her than college kids at a party and the media did a terrible job at portraying that. Fact check next time!
