California spring break brawl met with teargas and pepper spray
Associated Press in Isla Vista
theguardian.com, Sunday 6 April 2014 19.59 BST
About 100 people were arrested and at least 44 people were taken to the hospital during a weekend college party in southern California that turned into an out-of-control street brawl, authorities said.
Authorities reported using teargas, pepper spray and foam projectiles to disperse a surging crowd.
The violence broke out in the densely populated beachside community of Isla Vista around 9.30pm on Saturday, during the annual spring break party known as Deltopia, the Santa Barbara county sheriff's office said.
The sheriff's spokeswoman, Kelly Hoover, said things escalated after a University of California, Santa Barbara, police officer was hit in the face with a backpack filled with large bottles of alcohol.

March: Student runs on court during basketball game; professor gets in scuffle with anti-abortion protester
This month: The riot.
Sheesh. Something in the drinking water down there?
Oh by the way. Since right wingers looooove to hype "BLACK MOB VIOLENCE"...when will THIS riot (probably mostly white) make the front page of Drudge, WorldNutDaily, The Blaze, etc.? If there was a riot at a historically black college like Grambling State or NC Central it would be hyped for DAYS on the White Right Web.
