Rocks and bottles rained down on police Friday during what police described as a racially charged riot involving more than 500 students at Fontana High School.
A fistfight between two female students -- one Hispanic, one black -- touched off the melee, which ended an hour later after officers used smoke grenades, beanbag bullets and pepper spray to disperse the students.
By late afternoon, school officials thought that a small group of students might have orchestrated the incident, using networking Web sites such as MySpace to pass the word, said David Brashear, director of special projects for the Fontana Unified School District.
Another, smaller clash between students of different races at Pacific High School in San Bernardino occurred about the same time. Neither school had any evidence that the two incidents were connected or planned to coincide with the date: Friday the 13th.
Police in Fontana arrested six students, two on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and four on suspicion of obstructing justice and resisting arrest, Sgt. Doug Wagner said. No injuries were reported, he said.

I have some African-American friends who live in that area, and these incidents are happening on a regular basis now.  They are almost afraid to send their children to school everyday. I would be too. Hispanics act arrogant and gang up on innocent students all the time where I am from, so I don't doubt that area of the country is any different. |
