2010 Food Fight
On June 11, 2010, during lunch time, over a hundred students were involved in a food fight. What started out as a prank by the freshmen class ended in chaos. When staff members and police officers working at Binghamton High School tried to break up the food fight, the crowd then turned on them. Fights escalated and staff members and police officers were injured during the chaos. Assistant Principal Martin Klein was the most hurt when he was hit in the face with a student's cell phone, which resulted in his eye getting badly injured. Other staff members and a few police officers suffered minor injuries, but there were no major injuries and no students were hurt in the brawl. Many police officers reported to Binghamton High School and the school was on lock-down. The day continued with regular classes.

Famous quotes containing the words food and/or fight:
“... the more we recruit from immigrants who bring no personal traditions with them, the more America is going to ignore the things of the spirit. No one whose consuming desire is either for food or for motor-cars is going to care about culture, or even know what it is.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“The race may or may not be to the swift,
but tell me, is it likely
that the fight will be entrusted to the dead?”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
