So, you think DU discussions get rough sometimes? Check this out.
Nearly three dozen people, including 27 high school students, were arrested this week after a grand jury issued indictments in a March 3 street fight. What makes this case unusual, experts say, is how the clash was arranged: via a profanity-laced Internet chat room.

(snip)

"This is the first time I've heard where you've had a fight result, where the gangs actually met," Lewis said. "It doesn't surprise me at all that it's happened. It's just the scale that does surprise me."

In keeping with the rumble's high-tech origins, one participant videotaped the Garland skirmish. The tape helped police identify students and others involved in the off-campus fight.

A grand jury indicted 34 people, ages 14 to 21, for riot participation/aggravated assault/serious bodily injury, a second-degree felony punishable by two to 20 years in prison.
