LONG BEACH, N.Y. - A Long Island police department says it had to call for backup to quell a beach melee involving hundreds of people that spilled out onto the streets and a nearby bus depot.
Long Beach police say they are investigating the incident. There was no immediate word on arrests.
No injuries were reported.
According to Newsday , 11 Nassau police cars and two Metropolitan Transportation Authority police units assisted with the crowd control on Monday evening.
Police say a series of fights erupted on the beach just before it closed at 6 p.m. and continued for several hours. It was not clear whether the fights involved the same group of young people or different groups.

Stoke the fires. Break a few heads. Instill fear. Divide and conquer.

I wonder what will happen over the 4th of July weekend?
This is why I got my CCW last summer.To anyone here who lives in a CCW state and doesn't have a license and/or doesn't carry : Do it NOW. Because one way or another, things are going to get really, really ugly in summer and fall of 2012. Whether the violence is in rage or jubilation, it will be there.

The really sad thing about this is how it has set race relations back 50 years.
Fifty? How about 150.
As gross and ugly as it sounds, the older I get, the more I think the wrong side won the Civil War.
If a foreign country had invaded America in the 60s, they couldn't do as much damage to this country as blacks have.

Never had the pleasure ... too broke. Split time between LB and Jones Beach (where we used to sneak into the pool).
Man, what I wouldn't give to live those years over again :)
