So, they are out causing havoc, may seem like harmless fun, but look into history, people get hurt.  the student loans debt 19 billion dollars, if they don't stop or get arrested, expelled and blocked from going to any other university, and get any student loan money back... simple... and if they can't it becomes a standard load with interest, and the first payment must be made with the week... It will make them think before they start doing too much of stupid thing...
