FONTANA, Calif. - A fight between two high school students erupted into a riot of 500 people, prompting officers to fire bean bags and rubber pellets to scatter the crowd, police said. No major injuries were reported.
About 100 officers rushed to Fontana High School after students threw rocks and bottles at other officers and one another, according to Fontana police Sgt. Doug Wagner.

“We don’t know if it was gang related or if it was racially motivated,” Wagner said. “Some people were unhappy with one another, a fight broke out and it spilled over.”
500 participants is one big gang fight, especially to only have two arrests for assault with deadly weapons. The school is 50 miles east of LA.

And that's the most interesting point, Whirlwind. 500 rioting students BUT only 2 weapons found. Kinda doesn't make it sound like gangs have really penetrated that school, if you compare this situation to other gang-related crimes in the news. Just sounds like something that got WAY out of hand.

Yeah, the cops comment about gangs was just to cover the fact it was racially motivated. The area is almost 50%Hispanic. Used to be Black and White. The demographics have changed rapidly. Causing tension. Territorial imperative.
