Watts, Utah?
Only hours after Provo was rated among the top 10 cities in American by Kiplinger's Personal Finance, Provovians rioted in the streets.

Police say a 19-year-old man was arrested last night on suspicion of rioting, aggravated assault and underage drinking (a veritable triple crown of crime). Police say he stabbed a man in the eyes during the riot near 500 S. 500 East in the beating heart of conservative Utah.

Kiplinger's lauded Provo for providing
"reasonable living costs—and fun things to do."

A sharp-eyed off-duty officer "spotted" the riot at about 7 p.m., the report says. (Crack police work, "spotting" a riot, no?)

The cops rounded up 11 people, including several juveniles, for rioting in the absence of a soccer game.

Probably fighting over those darn Hannah Montana tickets down in Provo.
Either that or some trash that thinks its cool to be a wannabe gangbanger.
