Another dumpster fire at Hobart Lane late last night, an almost weekly event over this past year. And it happened right around the same time AFD was responding to an attempted suicide in another part of town. Just one of the many reasons dumpster fires are not taken lightly by authorities, as they tie up valuable resources with more important things to do.
Last January police arrested a Umass student for the idiotic activity, but the fires persist.

From what I hear around campus this is no longer something perpetuated by most UMass students. Those who still do it either are visiting friends or are idiotic underclassmen who live on campus. I hope they catch either however, and expel them immediately.
Was it really an "attempted suicide" Larry, or was it the really fascist and quite inept university going off the deep end yet again?
Students are, after all, fungible.
And I thought that when the AFD/APD caught the kid allegedly causing these dumpster fires, that would have ended it. Seems not to, hasn't it? And I haven't seen anything in the media (including yours) about him actually being CONVICTED of anything -- the sort of thing which happens when the authorities actually catch the *right* perp and haven't done anything stupid to get the case tossed.... So why the fires continuing if they have the right kid in jail????
Dumpster fires have been happening quite regularly for the past ten years.
ED, pay attention. What the heck does umass have to do with a suicide attempt in another part of town???
And the kid was caught setting A dumpster fire. Nobody said he set them all. Seriously, get your FACTS straight.

The UM campus is "another part of town" that the AFD is responsible for.

Larry sure as hell implied it. As did others when I raised that very issue. So was I wrong then, or now?
And why weren't dumpsters catching in fire in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s? Hmmmm.... I wonder (NOT) -- could it be the byproduct of the war on students????
0h, and one other thing -- dumpster fires are serious because you don't know what is in them. I am just waiting for one of these dumpsters to actually *explode* -- I can see it happening, and I mean explode as in at least pieces of the dumpster going flying downrange if not the whole thing becoming shrapnel.
