"Two girls were stabbed and six more burned with a Drano-like solution after an organized fight broke out in the Crown Heights late Wednesday night, police said.

The brawl, which was between two groups of women and organized on Facebook, erupted on the corner of Schenectady Avenue and Carroll Street at about 11:20 p.m.

An 18-year-old girl was stabbed in the left arm and a 20-year-old woman was stabbed in the back, police said. They were taken to Kings County Hospital Center in stable condition.

The remaining six girls were burned with a chemical substance, believed to be drain cleaner, that was thrown on them. They were taken to New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, also in stable condition.

Charges were pending on Thursday afternoon. The circumstances surrounding the fight were not immediately clear"

I heard about this and was, like, 'seriously?'

I am somewhat surprised there was no gun involved.

That may have been the factor that prevented fatalities.

eastbloc · June 2015

Guns aren't hard to obtain, so perhaps the lack of intent to kill was what had prevented fatalities.

Maybe.

...but it is conceivable that the young women didn't bother to obtain access to guns prior to this incident, and then found it hard to get one between the Facebook posts and the fight.

I'm Curious what the fight was about. Wounded pride or two timing. Not recycling properly or jumping the queue for dirt bike wheelie rides.

We may never know.

....but let's not rule out plagiarism or political differences.
