16 Students Arrested in Lunchtime Brawl at Cardozo High
Washpost ^ | 2/13/09 | Paul Duggan

More than a dozen students at the District's Cardozo High School were injured yesterday and 16 were arrested after a large group of girls began fighting in the basement lunchroom and several smaller fights broke out nearby, police and witnesses said. ...

Alan Etter, a spokesman for the D.C. fire department, said that about 15 students complained of injuries and that five were treated at hospitals.

"Basically it was a huge brawl going on in the cafeteria, and we had to evacuate the hallways," said Laneisha McCauley, a ninth-grader at the 816-student school in the Columbia Heights area of Northwest Washington....

D.C. police Cmdr. Brian Jordan of the school security unit said the brawl, which began about noon, apparently stemmed from a dispute outside of school.

"Evidently there was an incident that occurred after school [Monday] between some of the young ladies, and it spilled over into the school," Jordan said. "All indications are it might have occurred over something as minor as somebody pulling somebody's hair."

He said officers assigned to Cardozo called for help about noon after they encountered "a large group of females engaging in just a big fight" in the lunchroom.

Patrol cars from across the department's 3rd District converged on the school, in the 1200 block of Clifton Street NW. "As a result of the large fight, several other melees began to erupt" near the lunchroom and on the first floor, Jordan said.

Yeah, but that 4% Honky-Gringo population is oppressing the others.

Don’t you love how the media always refers to perpetrators as “ladies” and “gentlemen”?

The gentleman pointed a gun at my head and stole my wallet.

Why shouldn't we just go ahead a 'pretend' about everything.

These little, ahem, feral ‘ladies’ can be much more dangerous than their male counterparts. Back in the early 90’s at my mom’s ghetto middle school, several girls got into a fight in the locker room and one girl bit off another’s nipple. Disgusting, but true.

I’ve been listening to old sermons from Brother Lester Roloff (I love that man, what a man of God he was) and some others, and it’s amazing how closely they called it on where America was heading. They were laughed at and mocked in their day, and everything they preached and foresaw is coming to pass.

It was just two factions from the Math Club having a spat over the fine points of Cartesian geometry......
