Penn State riot in response to Osama bin Laden's death

Can you believe that I ran back to my dorm with my camera after a crowd of people charged past me, found myself standing in the middle of this riot of 10,000 students on Beaver Ave. waving flags, chanting "USA," setting off fireworks, throwing toilet paper, and I take about 6 photos and my camera dies?!? I took a few with my Iphone, as well as a few videos, but I wanted to kick myself so badly for not having my battery charged and ready for something like this.






What I should have done was run down to the Collegian office and grab a camera but I considered the fact that I was stuck in the middle of a riot where people were climbing streetlamps and the cops were macing and my fight or flight senses kicked in.

Good news, my parents are buying me a new camera and equipment for my graduation present!! Goodbye D40.
