Gawker says a bunch of students from University of Mississippi got together to riot when President Obama won reelection:

Local media reports that “hundreds of Ole Miss students exchanged racial epithets and violent, politicized chants” across campus. As many as 400 students are said to have participated. There are also reports that several students were arrested during the protest, though none have been officially charged. There were mixed reports about whether or not rocks were thrown as well.

Ole Miss has apologized.

  1. Sounds about as bad as your average Occupy Portland/anarchist march… Though at Ole Miss they all settle down and have mint julips afterwards.

  3. @Bogdanski – you’re a moron. If this was football team victory, the riots would be twice – no, ten times the size.

    Did anyone catch those race/occupy rights in San Francisco the other week? Oh wait, those had nothing to do with politics, people rioted because the Giants won a game.

    Now get off your soap box, and just shut the fuck up, asshole.

  4. Sorry, it was wrong of me to compare what happened at Ole Miss to an Occupy Portland march.

    If it was Occupy Portland there would’ve been much more damage and the Ole Miss campus would smell like feces. Oh, boo hoo…
