Soglin?s right about Mifflin mess

Two people were stabbed ? one of them suffering life-threatening injuries that required surgery. Three police officers were injured. At least 160 people were arrested on a variety of charges ranging from underage drinking to depositing human waste.

That?s not a block party. That?s a riot. And while we don?t have much problem with the University of Wisconsin?s reputation as a party school, we have a big problem with the mess that organizers of the Mifflin Street block party have made of the annual event.
