Witnesses say a group of dozens to 100 African-American teenagers ran wild at the fairgrounds last Thursday, fighting amongst themselves inside the fair and then attacking only white people outside the fairgrounds. Thirty-four people have been arrested, though their names have not yet been released.
"We're outside State Fair and there's a white guy getting beaten up by about 100 black people," says one caller.
Others sounds the alarm: "It's like a fricking riot out there. They're jumping on our cars and everything."
The transcript details some bizarre attacks, including a beating of a homeless man and a mob looting of a nearby gas station.
Though it contains only the sparest of details, the account gives a sense of the mad, racially-charged atmosphere that reigned at the fairgrounds last Thursday.

Among the more dramatic moments is a report of a group of 20 to 25 black teens assaulting a State Fair worker, whose race was not listed. People in the mob also reportedly pummeled a homeless person. The raging teens also pulled one poor couple off their motorcycle, and somehow dragged the woman--she ended up with a fat lip.
The teens reportedly stomped on cars, and at least one of the kids was slinging a gun. Teens punched victims in the face and the head.
