Texas Teenagers Arrange Street Fight on Internet

I’m horrified…and fascinated. From Texas Teenagers Arrange Street Fight on Internet:

Teenage street fighting entered the digital age in a Dallas suburb where 33 people have been arrested for slugging it out in a massive melee arranged on the Internet and videotaped by participants, police say.

Police in Garland said Wednesday several people were injured in the fight and those arrested included 27 high school students. Police were able to make arrests in this case earlier this week after reviewing a videotape of the brawl.

The date and time of the meeting of rivals from two high schools’ car clubs had been arranged over the Internet, said Joe Harn, an officer with the Garland police department.
