Riot Over A Grilled Cheese Sandwich

In early 2013, at New York’s Rikers Island Correctional Facility everything seemed to be going according to plan—until one of the inmates tried to make himself a grilled cheese sandwich.

The prisoner, a member of the Dominican Trinitarians gang, asked a rival Crip if he could use his hot plate to make the tasty treat. 

When the Crip refused, a fight broke out, which then spiraled into a huge riot between the two gangs. 

As many as 50 inmates fought a pitched battle, throwing chairs and attacking each other with brooms. 

One prisoner was even seen hurling a pan of boiling water at his rivals. 

With the outnumbered guards unable to break things up, the fight continued for almost an hour, until the gangs themselves agreed to stop whaling on each other and seek medical treatment.
