IU Students riot at Lambda Chi’s DMX concert

The concert was set to begin at 8:30pm, however, it didn’t start until an hour later because of DMX’s late arrival. Unfortunately for concert goers, the event was closed down after just three songs. Lambda Chi Alpha had confirmed to the University that the concert music and noise would be over at 9:30pm. The concert was to be the climax of IU’s famous Little 5 week. When the music was heard past 9:30pm, police officers arrived to shut the concert down.
DMX was removed from the stage and State and Bloomington Police officers were called in when the crowd started to yell profanities. Crowd members continued to protest the concert’s end. That’s when things got ugly.
Students in the front row of the concert were MACED!!! A small riot followed and garbage was thrown at police and guards while students took their party/riot to the streets. IU undergrads fight back by partying harder. If that sounds weird to you, visit IU. They have a really warped sense of reality. And we dig that. Go hoosiers!! Wreck shop!!!
