Yes, those were young teens, the oldest would have been 15. I would have judged the others to be around twelve. Those guys are everywhere, not just in UP, they won't pay to get inside, and would usually sit in groups outside the event. They were practically riled up during Giniling Festival, and especially, during Bamboo's. I never knew that they really did any harm. Most of us outside were laughing at them.

I cannot believe the organizers still haven't found the correct antidote to this problem. I mean, this is like a systemic problem during fairs. The JJs will always be there, and the organizers should learn from the past: additional QCPD support doesn't work. Not even the Frat community has enough fangs to fight these morons. Kainis! Why don't they put up 4 towers with a couple of snipers on each tower? They can use rubber bullets and shoot ALL (I mean ALL) JJs in sight? What's wrong with that?

We have always regarded ourselves as the future leaders of the country, the advocates of democracy, and the protectors of our fellow Filipinos especially the masa. Last night was different though. It was clearly us versus them. The educated versus morons. The burgis versus the masa. This criticism shares the same play on semantics of labeling as the April-May 2001 protests with “EDSA 3″ versus “the May 1 Siege.” It’s still the same rift between the middle and lower class.

Sorry nalang sa mga outsiders na pupunta next fair, but I think it's about time the campus security limited the UP fair audience to UP students only. Or at least outsiders should be accompanied by one up student or more. It has been like this every year but last night was the breaking point, I too got that "i might die tonight" feeling. The stampede towards the exits was terrifying, and the crowd waiting outside was no less dangerous. So much for my last UP fair. I'm with you for feeling disgust and anger towards the "JJ"'s. I used to just be offhanded when it comes to them but this time, they have gone to far. I agree.

As far as I know, they are banned inside UP. Or at least, sobrang restricted sila pag nasa loob sila ng UP. The SSB are the ones in charge of security inside the campus. Ewan ko kung kelan pa nagsimula ang policy na yan, but look at what happened so far. The bloody bank robbery sa Bahay ng Alumni. Five junior faculty members were stoned and mugged while walking along the Acad Oval. And now this. The QC police? As far as I know, they are banned inside UP.
