Disturbing story of a riot in Berkeley near the Cal campus. Apparently a football game was won/lost, and lots of alcohol was consumed. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“Thousands of partiers and college students took to the streets in Berkeley near the Cal campus on Saturday night and early Sunday morning as Halloween revelry devolved into a massive riot.

Up to 5,000 people were in the streets near Channing Way and Piedmont Avenue, with some throwing rocks and bottles. At least one person was sent to the hospital as the result of three reported assaults. At this point it is unclear what sparked the chaos, though Berkeleysidereports that large parties were getting shut down by the Berkeley Fire Department after 10 p.m. Saturday night. There are several fraternities in the area, and earlier that day was a college football game at Memorial Stadium between Cal and USC.”*
