Police at the scene said they had to use chemical agent to get the crowd under control as they were being pelted with objects as they tried to break things up.
[One student] said the fights were over pride. I know its a pride thing between Muslims and black people, she said. They want their pride back for something. I dont know. She also said boys were hitting girls and that some people were lying on the floor, with their hands over their heads, in surrender.
The fight, students say, was the result of long-simmering tensions between the 8 percent of students who are Somali Americans and the 20 percent who are African Americans. 8 of 20 no wait... eh... six of one half a dozen of the other? LOL with this PC geography fail. You know what was missing from this mess? A bucket full of Skittles should have been heaved into the melee.
