    A bunch of dumbasses wondering around yelling racial epithets while covered in flop sweat, reeking of Early Times and Belk man-perfume all the while still wearing Ralph Lauren, unironically, does not qualify as a riot.

    Not a riot without burning a mattress imo. Still , it doesn't make it right. Just stupid , which I'm sure you agree.

    From a different article...

    "A protest at the University of Mississippi against the re-election of President Barack Obama grew into crowd of about 400 people with shouted racial slurs as rumors of a riot spread on social media. Two people were arrested on minor charges.

    The university said in a statement Wednesday that the gathering at the student union began late Tuesday night with about 30 to 40 students, but grew within 20 minutes as word spread. Some students chanted political slogans while others used derogatory racial statements and profanity, the statement said.

    The incident comes just after the 50th anniversary of violent rioting that greeted the forced integration of Ole Miss with the enrollment of its first black student, James Meredith.

    Ole Miss Chancellor Dan Jones promised an investigation and said "all of us are ashamed of the few students who have negatively affected the reputations of each of us and of our university."
