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.

PING
Bill Cosby's message is needed now more then ever.
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.
"You have a child who wants education and other kids don't."
The father's quote at the end of the article said it all. For God's sake--what do you do with the losers who make life hell for the teachers and the kids who want to learn?
BTW: The racial group that was involved in (in most cases) instigating the racial fights that I spoke of happened to be one of the groups mentioned in this article. Hint: It wasn't the Mexicans.
Ping.
Huh? Over 1000 violent teenagers converge on a school, which became a "War Zone", yet nobody was hurt? What kind of war, exactly, were you talking about!?
If this were in Iraq, the MSM would have led tonight's news with terrifying accounts of pending civil war throughout the country.
Ping.
I'm thinking this is a good thing.
Man, what is with those people??????? Those people need to get a life. In Houston, I rarely see racial trouble. It seems like it is either on the West Coast or in the North, where I see lots of racial tensions. I know many Northern cities are very segregated. In Houston, schools desegregated quietly. Texas is not a so prone to racial tensions.
I am not saying there is no racial tensions, but I don't see it explode into a riot though. There was only one I can think of in the 1970s.
"Capt. Sergio Diaz of the Los Angeles Police Department said several hundred people were involved, possibly as many as 1,000.
A youth said it started in one place, then spread throughout the campus. When all was said and done four students had been arrested, one for allegedly kicking a school police lieutenant in the mouth, and three for disobeying orders to disperse, said Ellen Morgan of Los Angeles Unified. Four students also were treated for minor injuries, as were three school police officers, she said..."
Local coverage on the 10 p.m. news says that it's over for now. Police will be at the school on Monday to assure calm.
Was this a little "trailer" of the future of America?
