Call me crazy but this doesn't seem like a huge story to me, and probably wouldn't have been reported in the news at all if it didn't have a Facebook connection.

I know it is fun to joke about facebook and street fights but it was a very serious situation that could have gotten REALLY bad not only for the GIRLS that were fighting but also the people that live in the neighborhood. Who know's when the fighting is going to from punches to gunfire. It was a very frightening situation for all that had to witness it. Good Job Ypsi Police. You responded very quickly and did your best. Thank you for guarding my neighborhood and trying to keep us safe.

^ the layout is a lot better but since no one else is moving what's the point? I created an account when it first started and haven't logged in for months, it's a ghost town!

Google+ is much sleeker, and user friendly than FB. No ads, as well. All of my friends and family are now Google+ members. FB is graphically way too busy, and there are far too many users.

To friend or not to friend, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the name calling of an outrageous neighbor, Or to beat the snuff out of him in the streets. (with apologies to the Bard)

MySpace is owned by Rupert Murdoch...or at least it was years ago. That's why I left.

With all the concern over people not interacting with each other anymore, this is indeed refreshing. It's good to see these people engaging in a good, old fashoned, throw down.

The Facebook IPO has everyone on edge. This argument was probably about assessable capital at the company.

thats just dumb...it had to do with the fact that one of the people said they were scared of Mark Zuckerberg cause he wears a hoodie.

It was more over the opening price and time. It's not 9::00 AM or $20.00
