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:
“It is the mark of a mean, vulgar and ignoble spirit to dwell on the thought of food before meal times or worse to dwell on it afterwards, to discuss it and wallow in the remembered pleasures of every mouthful. Those whose minds dwell before dinner on the spit, and after on the dishes, are fit only to be scullions.”
—Francis De Sales, Saint (1567–1622)
“Indifference is harder to fight than hostility, and there is nothing that kills an agitation like having everybody admit that it is fundamentally right.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
