Ah, yes.  The old justification of bad behavior by pointing to other bad 
behavior.  We had a similar problem here in York with York College students, 
who have no football games to attend.  The cops clamped down, and they 
should have.  No homeowner should have to tolerate such intolerable 
behavior.  Don't make excuses for them.
