LOS ANGELES — A fight between two Jordan High School students Friday led to a blacks-Latinos brawl that police said may have involved up to 1,000 people, including some gang members who came on campus for the fracas.

The scrap, which reportedly began with two girls fighting, possibly over something that happened yesterday, began during the second lunch period, officials said. Nobody was seriously hurt.

KTTV-TV L.A. (FOX) just did a live update for their 10 o'clock news. Nothing else happened so far today. They reported one student and one police officer were peppersprayed during the incident; one police officer thrown to the ground by a student and kicked (student has been arrested); more patrols in the area over night. No new news.

The turf wars for the title of most favored minority.

I am not attempting humor here, but you ain't seen nothing yet.

Hispanics have been taking over the projects around my neck of the woods. I don't know how it is everwhere else. Here, tensions are high.

Such conflicts as the one chronicled here aren't going to go away any time soon.

"...Five girls also were detained for fighting at Locke High School, about two miles west of Jordan. It was unclear whether there was a connection.

Morgan said nearby Weigand Elementary School and Southwest Middle School also were locked down, as a precaution.

By the end of the day, officers in riot gear were escorting students in groups of 20 or so off the campus.

Worried parents -- one woman sat crying in a chair and being consoled -- waited anxiously to be united with their children.

One man said he expects the situation to be resolved off campus. "We might as well look for it to carry on in the streets because that is the next step," he said.

Stephanie Roach just wanted to see her children.

"That's all I want," she kept repeating..."

There were racial fights going on in Newark when my dad was a kid and Jersey City where my mom was a kid. This is NOTHING NEW. They shut down the high school for nearly a week when my aunt was there due to racial violence and that was in 1970.

In Newark and Irvington, there is bad feeling and occasional brawls between American blacks and West Indians.

You mean it wasn't a dance review?!?

So much for all that gay indoctrination, eh?

[Free Trapper]

Even one on one street fights would have sent many more to get medical care unless they're all a bunch of wimps.

The report seems overblown as to there having been that much real fighting.

Isn't immigration, of both the legal and illegal variety, so wonderful and enriching to our society?

Alipac, the broadcast you viewed was probably the taped story from a 6:00 p.m. local broadcast. Follow this link and then link to the video of the story on the right.

there is something really strange about this story. if gang members came to fight, and if 1000 students fought, why were there so few injuries? this doesn't add up.

Unfortunately, it's the gift that keeps on giving....

There were reports that gang members came to the high school during the fight. When local gangs are better armed than LAPD, all "street fights," especially involving "hundreds... up to a thousand" are relevant.

It's only overblown if you haven't heard automatic gun fire and cross-fire on your street on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening.

Good point. Any theories?

"possibly over something that happened yesterday"

Like what? One dissed the other over some gangbanger dreamboat?

That's what I was thinking.

[drhogan]

not really--except that maybe the whole thing was never as violent as the report was claiming.
if even one person had a gun, he should have been able to shoot somebody in a crowd of 1000, even if he was blind.
