Teenagers Equal Trouble

Here they come. I was minding my own business, walking home from the post office when they came right at me. Thousands of TEENAGERS protesting something or another (probably just excited for a day off, just one month into the school year).
They looked angry, but they I realized that they were drinking mass amounts of beer at 10am so they couldn't have been that angry.
They stopped here, at this building, an old palazzo, where there are some government offices. They were shouting their message which seemed to be in the form of a rap song and some smoke bombs.
These guys had the right idea. Riot gear becauseTeenagers = Trouble.
Still reading the paper to try and decipher what they were protesting, I'll let you know whenever I figure it out but if you ask me, right now it looks like an official, school sanctioned, day off to drink beer in the morning and shout at The Man. Teenagers?!

I seem to recall students striking last year as well. I think it was about goverment education cuts, so maybe that again?

It's about the cuts again and I admire Italian youth for being politically aware.
