A fight between rival groups of black and Latino students at Locke High School quickly escalated into a campus-wide melee Friday, with as many as 600 students brawling until police restored calm with billy clubs.
The troubled campus in South Los Angeles was locked down after the fight broke out at 12:55 p.m., as students returned from lunch to their fifth-period classes. Overwhelmed school officials called Los Angeles police for help, but students and faculty said it took about half an hour before dozens of officers, many in riot gear, restored order.
"The kids were crazy, running from place to place, jumping on other kids," said Reggie Smith, the school's band director, who said he ran to pull his students from the melee. "Some of my kids were crying because they were walking to class with friends and they got jumped."
Los Angeles Unified School District police said that there are only two officers assigned to Locke but that the school police force brought in about 60 officers after receiving word of the brawl. The Los Angeles Police Department also dispatched more than a dozen patrol cars and about 50 officers.snip

Just getting along...
Gee, I wonder what the problem is. Heck, give `em amnesty. That'll fix it.
People with sense. People with intelligence. People who value civilization. People who value liberty. GET YOUR KIDS OUT OF GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS!!!
It’s not always possible.
Musta' killed off all the whites and Asians...
Oh, that was several years ago. We must move on...
LOCKE DOWN!
It is always possible.It is a matter of priorities. We homeschooled 3 at a time when both of us worked and neither of us made much at all. It was a pain in the butt and no one got fat. We actually skimped on food occasionally. But we did the job and the results are most satisfying. It helps if you have no TV in the house.
We need to apply some innovative liberal solutions to this problem. But it might take some money.
1. Midnight basketball
2. Make condoms available on request
3. reduce classroom size
4. retrain teachers
5. team sensitivity teaching
6. more diversity training
7. expand school lunch subsidies
Hispanics have no white guilt. They don’t like blacks and are quite willing to say so and then act on it.
Historically, thru the 50s race riots consisted primarily of whites attacking blacks. From the 60s through the 90s they consisted of blacks attacking whites and Asians.
We may be headed back towards an era of blacks as the recipients, only with Hispanics as the aggressors.
The hilarious aspect of this is that liberals are convinced that all “people of color” are inherently allied against evil “people of pallor.” In reality, Hispanics and most other minorities dislike blacks much more than they hate whites.
Another fun factor is watching liberals trying to ignore Hispanic vs. black conflict, as it conflicts so greatly with their theories. CA authorities and the LAPD are desperately trying to pretend that a general attack on blacks by latino gangs is not in progress in that city.
Exactly. How can there be a racial conflict, absent evil white men?
Must be a legacy of slavery and colonialism......or something.
Obviously, it's whitey fault
Oh gosh...you forgot the most important ones ...
VALUES DISCUSSIONS AND EXERCISES.
and.....
SELF CONFIDENCE BUILDING DISCUSSIONS
ha.
Well, after all they are La Raza, The Race. Just ask them.
Brawling really is a distraction from studying for the AP exams....
“With an enrollment of 2,600, Locke is 65% Latino and 35% African American.”
