Red Sox fans rioting in 2004If you’re planning on attending any of the Red Sox World Series games in Boston, you might want to avoid doing anything illegal. After Sunday night’s ALCS Game 7 win for the Red Sox, 26 people were arrested, most of them were college students.

So when they saw the judge on Tuesday, instead of receiving fines, 7 of the 26 were ordered to write an essay of what they learned from being arrested after the Red Sox won the American League Championship. It’s not just a short essay, he wants them to write 5 pages.

If you remember back to 2004, an Emerson College student was killed when she was hit by a pepper pellet shot by the Boston Police into a crowd of celebrating but rowdy fans. Since then, the Boston Police has made better preparations for handling a crowd like the one on Sunday night.

The key to writing this essay will be using a 14 point font, probably the courier new font. This will cut down the length of words they will need to write in the essay.

If it were me, I would write I learned not to celebrate outside Fenway Park and get caught. Then I would cut and paste it until I had 5 pages.

Nothing like taking the easy way out, huh.
