Watch some of the crazy footage of the brawl below (Warning: graphic language)
MINNEAPOLIS (TheBlaze/AP) — A food fight quickly turned into a brawl involving hundreds of students at a Minneapolis high school on Thursday, forcing police to use chemical spray to break up the melee. Students are saying the melee was the result of tensions between 8 percent of students who are Somali Muslims and the 20 percent who are African Americans.
“I know it’s a pride thing between Muslims and black people,” student Symone Glasker said. “They want their pride back for something. I don’t know.”
Four people were taken to hospitals with minor injuries, including a staff member who was hit in the head with a bottle, according to the school and police.
Students were throwing food, plates, pop bottles – “anything they could get their hands on” – at school staff and police, Palmer said.
Another student, Abdi Sheikh, said he saw hundreds of students fighting, adding that it appeared to be racially motivated.
“A big riot,” he said. “It was all types of races.” >>>see more at link<<<
Restive readers, read the rest: Since when is a person’s religion their race? Were the “Troubles” in Northern Ireland a racewar? And yet this how the DailyMail.UK characterized this incident. Here’s some background for the chaps at the Daily Mail: These “sectarian” tensions in Minnesota have been going on for some time now. The sudden influx of native Africans has the domestic black community on edge. Seems like as tough as the domestic blacks though they were, these noobs from the motherland are even rougher. And they quickly formed their own street gangs called ” The Mali Thugboyz” and “The Somali Outlawz” which the existing street gangs feel they must defend their turf against (read that, drug profits). What you got here is little more than the “Crips vs Bloods” rivalry we see in LA. Frankly, if the cops won’t let decent folk hunt these scum down like the varmints they are, the next best thing is watching them kill each other. source
