ECU Student Paper on Snowball Melee

January 29, 2009 in Campus Press, Civil Liberties, Police, Pranks, Students | Comments closed

A few days ago we linked to a story (and video) about a snowball fight at East Carolina University that ended in an arrest and the use of pepper spray by campus cops. 

Now the East Carolinian, ECU’s student newspaper, has its coverage up, and their piece is a well-written, thorough one. Ties up a lot of the loose ends that the national media left hanging.

I know it’s a small story, but this piece really is a reminder of what the student press is for.
