A planned fight is just a fight... That's how it worked in school in 90s and early 00s. You would meet at hot spot for fights to go down and half the school would come.

That's how it worked for my school in the mid to late 00s as well.
I suspect y’all didn’t bring guns, though…
You would suspect wrong.
Edit: Seriously, the 90s were a wild time to be a kid if you wernt growing up in a wealthy neighbourhood. We didnt have mass shootings, but there were plenty of regular shootings.
I'm just thinking of that one scene from I want to say American History X where the younger brother gets shot in the restroom. I think it's still a school shooting by definition but different vibe.
Back in the day it was called a 'rumble.'
Yeah, just fists…🙁
Man, what happened to the days when they used to just beat each other with lead pipes and chains?
Brick, where'd you get a grenade?
I graduated in 2015. There weren't fights like this (or like the kind that apparently happened for everyone else) when I was in high school.
But I have known some dumb high school kids in recent years, who do this kind of dumb shit. I actually just in the last two weeks, heard about or witnessed a group of teenagers getting the cops called on them for gathering in local fast food parking lots to do their dumb shit.
At the very least take it out to a damn field, like civilized idiots.
