The result was Speedy keep per WP:SNOW. Consensus indicates that this is a notable event, and the nomination is possibly WP:POINTy as it's made by a single purpose account. Non-admin closure. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 16:01, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, clearly notable. Wikipedia does not exclude coverage of things in the news, so the reason for the nomination is invalid and this should be closed promptly. Everyking (talk) 07:27, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A major civil disturbance with hundreds of injuries is notable. Nasica (talk) 09:24, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I believe the guideline about Wikipedia "not being news" is to keep a lid on every currently reported item on Google News ending up on Wikipedia. That this event happened 14 years ago and still remembered demonstrates that it's pretty notable. --Canley (talk) 10:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, notable event and the article is referenced by reliable sources. This is exactly the sort of thing which should be on Wikipedia. Bob talk 10:36, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Certainly notable. Cites a couple reliable sources, as well. Appears this nom wasn't in good-faith. Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 12:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep Notable event, more than just news. Probable objectional nomination from a single purpose account. WilliamH (talk) 13:58, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Has references and sources and is a notable enough event to warrant its own article IMO. Dan the Man1983 (talk) 14:11, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A riot causing more than a million dollars in damages? Yeah, that's notable. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 15:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
