Ole Miss students yell out racial slurs in campus riot protesting Obama's reelection
President Obama's call for unity in his acceptance speech in Chicago didn't quite make it down South.
A riot broke out at The University of Mississippi - known as Ole Miss - as more than 400 students yelled out racial slurs and burned Obama-Biden campaign posters after the Democratic incumbent was crowned the victor of the 2012 Presidential Election on Tuesday.
Emotions ran high among the angered college conservatives in Oxford, Mississippi, with university police being called in shortly after midnight to diffuse the crowd.
The incident began as a small gathering of frustrated voters, meeting to share their misery at Obama getting another four years in office, shortly after midnight.
But word soon spread over social media and the crowd began to swell to hundreds of students. yelling out racial slurs, chanting anti-Obama rhetoric and some reportedly throwing rocks at cars.
'Disperse or go to jail,' University Police Department officers told the crowd, according to the student newspaper, The Daily Mississippian.
But Ole Miss student Nicholas Carr tweeted that the whole thing was being overblown, saying that more people were taking pictures of the so-called riot than actually joining in on the chanting.
'I was there the whole time. No rocks were thrown. There was 1 sign lit on fire. For about 45 seconds,' Carr wrote.
'Mostly, it was 100s of college kids who heard the word riot and ran to take pictures and see what it was about. Again, no rocks or missiles thrown.'
But the school's administration confronted students on Wednesday and blasted last night's behavior as 'a very immature and uncivil approach to expressing their views about the election,' University of Mississippi Chancellor Dan Jones said in statement.
