So did you hear about the massive Project X style party that happened in Cavan over the weekend? No? Let’s just say that this poor secondary school student is probably grounded for the rest of his life.
The Irish Daily Mail reports that what should have been a harmless, run-of-the-mill teenage house party quickly turned into a nightmare as a secondary school student tried to keep a Facebook mob away from his parent’s home.
The teenager, who was from Lavey in county Cavan, organised the party for 40 of his friends on Friday night while his parents were gone away. Well it wasn’t long before the party got completely out of control when someone posted the teenager’s address on Facebook.
The person advertised the event as “Project X Cavan” and more than 300 Facebook randomers gatecrashed the party.
The teenager was forced to call the gardaí in order to protect his home from being completely destroyed.
“The poor lad who organised the party was terrified. He had arranged a party at his house for some of his friends and then hundreds of young people turned up,” said a teen who had attended the party.
“They had to barricade them from the house using machinery from his father’s farming business, and eventually around 20 gardaí turned up to keep them away from the house. The lad was sitting crying in the house while this mob were outside in the field having their own huge party,” the teen added.
Pictures from “Project X Cavan” have already been posted all over the internet and there are videos all over YouTube.
So how did his parents react?
Well, his parents are not speaking to the media, but it is understood that they are “very upset” about what happened – and can you blame them, really?
According to reports, it took gardaí until 2am to get rid of the massive crowd that had gathered at the house.
“The poor lad sat and cried for the whole evening in his sitting room. He didn’t leave the house out of fear,” said a spokesman for the gardaí.
“There was no actual party, it was a get-together for friends in a house and a message went viral on Facebook. A very large number turned up but there were no arrests made because no one had actually broken the law,” the spokesman added.
