High school food fight turns into violent 'race riot' leaving three students and a member of staff hospitalized
- Between 200-300 students at South High School took part in melee
- Four people were injured, including three teens and one staff member
- Police had to spray Mace to make the crowd of brawlers disperse
What started out as a lunchtime food fight in a Minneapolis high school ended in a massive brawl involving hundreds of students and police officers wielding canisters of Mace.
Minneapolis South High School was placed on lockdown shortly before 1pm Thursday after violence broke out during third-period lunch inside the cafeteria between Muslim and black students.
The fight involved 200-300 students and lasted about 15 minutes, leaving four people injured. Teaching continued as usual during the lockdown, but students had to remain in their classrooms. ...
In a statement posted on the school's website, district spokesperson Stan Alleyne wrote: 'South is a very diverse high school.
'It is a microcosm of the city. Students function together at a high level every day. That is the strength of this school. Our students live diversity every day.' ...
This is almost too satirical for George Orwell. The black and Muslim students are trying to beat each others' brains out, after which the school superintendent intones that diversity "is the strength of this school." But on one thing he is correct. It is a "microcosm of the city" and a microcosm of our future nation. And no one has had the strength to stop it, so far.
By the way, if you want further symbolism, couldn't help noticing that most of the people cleaning up the mess seemed to be hapless whites.
