[Late Monday night, the news is flooded with reports of the Las Vegas Police Department responding to a riot at an abandoned warehouse in the industrial section of Las Vegas. Several ambulances are called to the scene to take a number of injured people to local hospitals. Initial reports talk about an underground fight club that had been operating within the city for some time. Eye-witness reports say that a fight broke out between two members of the club and soon escalated into a full-blown riot in the warehouse where the evening’s fights were being held.
Social media outlets are swarming with pictures and video of the fight and ensuing riot. People talk about how wild and vicious it was, and the pictures certainly support those words. No names are listed, but faces are clearly visible in the pictures with no effort made to obscure them. One video in particular, lasting about 30 seconds, shows a young man being beaten, the crowd divided between cheering and yelling at them to stop. ‘He’s not moving!’ can be heard being screamed by one onlooker, shortly before the video pans in to a shot of the man laying prone on the ground just before the video cuts out.
No names or further details are being released to the public, pending a full investigation.]
