This article at The Daily Beast gives a pretty good picture of what happened: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articl...iot-police-at-keene-n-h-pumpkin-festival.html
The key points being:
1) This was frat boy stuff, from students in and out of the state. Their only point was to "f*ck sh*t up".
2) The rioting did not take place on Main Street itself, but 3 blocks away, so it was separate from the actual festival. That's being totally lost in the majority of media coverage.
Also, I'm glad I highlighted the Pumpkin Blaze in my other thread and not the Keene festival. Damn.
