Flat wrecked in party mayhem

The 12-hour party was shut down by police in full riot gear shortly before midnight after the tenant finally called them in.

When the officers, wearing shields and helmets, arrived at the "large scale disorder" they had beer bottles hurled at them.

Two arrests were made and six on the spot fines were handed out.

Now, the young tenants have been left with an unenviable explaining job to their landlords, who are out of town.

The back-section Frankleigh St flat was yesterday barely habitable.

Every window had been smashed, graffiti scrawled over walls inside and outside the house, with large holes in the interior plasterboard.

A wooden picnic table was on the roof, and hundreds of empty and broken bottles and crushed cans were strewn about the yard. Pools of blood and blood trails led up the driveway.

Chockful rubbish bags were stacked in the garage from a half-hearted early morning mop-up operation at the front of their property which police officers forced on them.

Party co-host Hemi Carstairs blamed Facebook for spreading the party's message beyond his group of friends.

The best Vines of 2013 justify the existence of the social media

Social media has gone a tad out of control in recent years, with a countless number of platforms inhabiting not only your desktop PC, but just about every smart mobile device available. At first, social media was almost solely just for mindless, tedious status updates about your lunch or where you were eating your lunch or what you wish you were eating for lunch. Then, people figured out they could make their ex-boy and girlfriends jealous by posting a bunch of pictures of a fun night out, even though the other six nights that week were spent watching Netflix alone. Finally in part thanks to Twitters character limitation forcing people to be creative social media found a much more acceptable optional destiny: quick bursts of easily accessible entertainment.

This compilation of the best Vines from 2013 will make you regret enduring social media just a little less throughout all those pictures of your exes seemingly having an much better, happier life than you.

Personal taste aside, there are some consistent trends among the super short-form videos:

If you want to get sucked into more short-form video compilations that add up to make a long-form video and then suddenly its an hour later and youre late for something, saygoodbye to your precious time.

Pullman rapist uses social media to claim innocence

A life in prison has not silenced Christopher Jack Reid.

The former porn star and convicted Pullman rapist continues to share his thoughts with friends and others through an edgy Twitter account and has relied on YouTube to publish a lengthy series of videos that proclaim his innocence by arguing that the victim was manipulated by authorities into giving testimony filled with lies.

Reid, 31, is behind bars for the 2007 rape of a Washington State University student, and his continuing use of social media illustrates a problem prison officials are mostly unable to control.

Authorities want inmates to remain engaged with family and friends and have developed an email system that screens messages for inappropriate content. But social media present new potential problems, and authorities are monitoring them as much as possible for abuse.

So far, for example, the state Department of Corrections (DOC) has asked social-media giant Facebook to shut down 560 profiles of inmates for improper use and violation of the companys own terms of service. Authorities have less leverage with other social-media sites, though.

Reid, who was known in the adult-entertainment industry as Jack Venice, was convicted of breaking into a WSU sorority with Kyle M. Schott, where both raped a woman while she slept.

Schott accepted a plea deal and was convicted of third-degree rape. Reid, however, was convicted by jury of second-degree rape.

Hes fought the conviction since it was handed down in Whitman County, studying Washingtons public-records laws, earning a paralegal certification and even suing the city of Pullman, claiming it improperly presented evidence in his case.

Social-media campaign

Despite being locked up without Internet access in Stafford Creek Corrections Center in Aberdeen, Reid has turned to social media to make his case public.
