Charges pending after skating rink fights, disturbance
What happened at the Star City Roller Rink
Roanoke County police say charges are pending after Saturday's night's disturbance and series of fights inside and outside a roller rink.
Police were called out to Star City Skate and Play just after 11:00 p.m. Saturday. Witnesses say they had been attending a teen skating party when a fight broke out. At that point, they say, the rink DJ could not stop it, so police were called, but police had difficulty stopping the disturbances that followed.
Roanoke County Police say the crowd totaled more than 400 children and teens. Two police officers were assaulted and received minor injuries.
These were mainly high school kids that were 99% black..why is it that you can put 1000 white teenagers together and not have problems..but you put 400 black kids in a room and the cops have to be called because of the fights..:confused:
