Bloody brawl involving as many as 50 inmates on Rikers Island [NYC jail] goes on for nearly an hour, sources say

The violent melee was triggered over a grilled cheese sandwich, a jail insider said. Members of the Trinitarians, a Dominican gang, were upset their rival Crips were not letting them use a hot plate to cook the snack.

The guard union blames under-staffing.

These guys are like they stopped maturing at about the age of 16. They're like kids in men's bodies.

I always dislike the vapid ignorance the news can show in crime cases.

This wasn't about a sandwich, but about a power struggle in a closed environment.

It was about the JAIL STAFF allowing one group of inmates to control the access to the equipment.

Not someone starting a vast fight over a single sandwich. Thinking that way is so naive that it's nearly insulting.

This also wasn't just an instant attack. There was likely planning involved. No one goes into a massive fight without planning. Not on purpose and this wouldn't have been sustainable without a mass of people being part of it.

Is it wrong that I want a grilled cheese sandwich now?

And I'm with the AC that said this is about prison guards giving unfair access to the equipment.

Of course, I agree with what you wrote. But it is kinda funny the way it's written up.
