Fight breaks out in school library, 1 person taken to hospital
Caleb Danielson - The State Hornet
Community service officers from the Sacramento State Police Department gather while officers investigate a fight that broke out in the University Library on Tuesday, March 6, 2018. According to witnesses, the fight started after one person told someone else to leave for sneezing.
A fight broke out on the second floor of the library Tuesday night, police confirmed. Witnesses said two people began arguing and eventually got into a fight shortly before 8 p.m.
According to Sacramento State student Timothy Nguyen, someone studying near the windows sneezed, and another person sitting nearby told him he needed to leave so he wouldn’t get other people sick.
Nguyen said the two started staring at each other, and after a while one of them got up and asked the other, “Do you want to go? You want to take this outside?”
A few moments later, Nguyen said, they started aggressively shoving each other.

Firefighters and paramedics make their way to someone who was involved in a fight in the Sacramento State library on Tuesday, March 6, 2018. The individual was transported to the hospital, though officials say he was not injured during the fight.
Sac State’s Chief of Police, Mark Iwasa, confirmed that the fight started over a sneeze. He said a student from Sac State sneezed, and a student from UC Davis confronted him because he didn’t want to get sick.
According to Iwasa, the Sac State student said, “It’s just a sneeze, I’m not really sick.”
The argument turned into fight, and the UC Davis student was punched in the face. Nguyen said he tried to break up the fight, telling them it wasn’t worth it, but he said he couldn’t stop them. Nguyen said that a friend of one of the participants, and several other people, also tried to break up the fight.
Three campus police officers responded, along with at least five community service officers. By the time they arrived, the fight was over, Iwasa said.
Iwasa said the Davis student requested medical attention for his injuries, so paramedics were called.
Firefighters and paramedics from the Sacramento Fire Department arrived to treat the UC Davis student, who also started having an asthma attack a few minutes before they got there, Iwasa said. Paramedics transported him to the hospital for further medical care as a result of his asthma attack.
One of the officers that responded that night, Cpl. Paul Skrinie, said that even if a fight is mutual, it isn’t tolerated by university police. “This is not the behavior we support,” he said.
Skrinie said no arrests were made.

Herky never resolves issues with violence. Your gains won’t bring love and happiness into the world, your heart does.
how many times do humans sneeze in the world daily. And some snowflake demands this person leave due to health concerns? I cant imagine how this snow flake would have reacted if someone farted. The nerve of this bully to make any demands on anyone. The entitlement mentality and assumed importance will catch up to this person once this person is out in the working world.
Snowflakes only THOUGHT their library was a safe space.
Emotionally charged young people with bad manners is quite common in school. They will grow out of it. Can their vote wait until they do grow out of it? This is my concern.
Instead of fighting why didn’t the one guy just keep sneezing on the other guy – or forget that maybe just lick the other guy – Better yet let the other guy punch in the nose and then bleed on that guy. Seems to me there are just much better ways to infect people.
#1WorldProblems
Beta boy couldn’t keep his sneezes down so Alpha bro did what had to be done. #phiphi
California is running away with its #1 ranking over Florida as the craziest place to live on the planet
What? No safe spaces in the lie-berry?
Snowflake slap and tickle fight. Also no doubt the sneezer was a racist. And a gun owner. May have even been fine with allowing conservatives to exist.
Hmmmmm
Put Sac State in my list of colleges I refuse to pay for my two teenagers to attend.
For people like me with dust allergies libraries are good places to go and let out a sneeze here and there.
It would have gone to guns if he had farted….
Look, you may think this story is runny, but it snot. Neither guy should have made a big tissue out of this, but who nose these days what the smell will set people off.
Sorry Fleendar, but there wouldn’t have been any guns. Sacramento State is a gun free campus, therefore nobody would have a gun to shoot the guy who farted. Criminals always obey no guns allowed signs.
AAAAHHHHHHH- CHOOOOOOOOOO! Pardon me!
One of the officers that responded that night, Cpl. Paul Skrinie, said that even if a fight is mutual, it isn’t tolerated by university police. “This is not the behavior we support,” he said.
Skrinie said no arrests were made.
Why no arrests? Sounds like there should have been at least one ??? WTF ???
they still have libraries?
I don’t think we are told the whole story. if someone is deliberately sneezing on me and does not cover up with their hand or as we are taught nowadays with the crook of our arm and deliberately sneezes all over me it is more than rude. Everbody sneezes. Everyone who is not a sociopath does not sneeze on other people. I had a guy in a wheelchair in a bookstore cough all over me and then tell me not to worry as he had TB. Sometimes people need retribution for their behavior.
You can tell the Drudgeistas are posting here. They love tossing the word “snowflake” around. Pitiful.
Why didn’t they post NO SNEEZE ZONE
signs……. there problem solved

problem solved
So fool gets offended by a human sneeze. Then takes his punk ass to the hospital when his whines aren’t respected. Spoiled bitch from UC. Best get home to mommy, after a lawsuit of ten. Probably drops a dime regularly. Just what we need
They really need 8 officers to respond to a couple of kids swinging on each other in the library? Amazing no one got shot.
Scratching and bitch slapping liberal pajamaboys.
It was just a sneeze and it’s not like the dude meant to do it on purpose. The entitlement mentality that this snowflake victim had believing he could make demands over someone for something so little. Not to say that the dude deserved to get hit, he doesn’t, but still. It’s not like the guy was making a huge disturbance.
I go to this college and I have heard people fart and sneeze in that library before so I don’t care as long as they are not directing it at someone and are doing their best to minimize the volume of it as much as possible.
Bless you.
So WHY didn’t the cops night stick the both of them and take them into custody there were plenty of witnesses that could verify who started it and who finished this aggressive world war among the snow flakes. It sounds like the UC Davis clown was complexly in the WRONG and also got the worst of the fight he picked
We kicked their rears!!
Those who believe violence never solves anything are ignorant of animal and human nature/history. The biggest and baddest end up with the prize, be it sex, power, land, or money…
Fragile big mouth UC Davis loser, weak in every way. He’s going to hate real life when college days are over!
So a UC Davis student starts a fight, gets whooped, and then has an asthma attack waiting for the paramedics he requested. Sounds about right.
Snowflake democrats tickle fighting in their safe place, California looking better every day.
Snowflake is afraid of the sneezer’s sneeze aerosol. So instead of moving away from the sneezer he not only gets closer but makes physical contact with him potentially swapping bodily fluids. What an irrational moron.
“This is not the behavior we support,’ he said.”…..
unless, of course, you’re antifa… attacking Conservatives…..
OMG!! I have severe allergies!! If, I left, every time I sneezed, I would spend ALL of my time outside!!! Pollen, dust, aerosol sprays, strong perfumes, etc… In fact, if HE were wearing Brut, I would be sneezing my head off!! You CAN’T catch allergies!! Idiot!! You DON’T know everything, and you DON’T rule the World!!!
Couldn’t the Sneezee pick up and leave, instead of demanding that the Sneezer do so..?
Which one or both are the Snowflakes..?
Will college age children Ever matriculate into people capable of governing themselves.?
Will America survive the Snowflake generation?
Will the Next generation to come be in worse shape than the last one is..? Thoughts to ponder.
Thankfully I am well protected from any of them and will live in peace and prosperity..
Hey Pikeguy, if you really are a brother, grow up. You’re a disgrace to those of us who aren’t stereotypes.
I guess the Davis guy couldnt pick up his book and move to another part of the library…
Who is Herky? Please tell me we’re talking about Herky from Harvard, NE.
Herky the Hornet is the official mascot of Sacramento State University.
Dude wanted to catch an attitude just for a sneeze so he desevered to be put in the hospital. Why should he move to another seat just because he had to let out a sneeze why couldn’t the person that was bothered move.
Five police idiots (minimum as per the pictures) required to respond to this retarded idiocy? Five?!?! Can we please fire 2/3 of the police force – or at least make do actual police work?
I was at the Sac State library last week and I could feel the tension. Not surprised by this at all…
I find it interesting that a UC Davis student told the Sac State student to leave, when it was the sneezer’s (Sac St) library.
Slap fight
California Snowflakes having a dispute in the library. How quaint – Don’t sneeze on me bro. Must have been Gov. Moonbeem voters.
Sneezing in a crowded place is rather uncouth, but perhaps the other party should have developed another way to launch a retaliatory strike – by farting repeatedly, for instance.
What ever became of the caring statement, “God bless you”.
The asthmatic complainer probably destroyed his immune system with soy poisoning. He deserved a beating.
Holding in violent sneezing can explode your face… but blasting sneeze mist on other people isn’t nice either. Put your head in your shirt and sneeze in your armpit. If someone has a problem with that, beat them down…
Give that UC Davis chump the ol’ green and gold spirit. Sac State #1.
When Snowflakes Attack
Story says police got there after the fight was over. They must have been outside forming a perimeter.

I’d like to say that Stockton’s ghettoville love is rubbing off on Sac State, but I think it’s just that all of California has finally become a reflection of the liberal enclave that Stockton has been for decades. Congratulations liberal loons: you’ve successfully created a society where someone would rather brawl over a sneeze instead of offering a tissue.
>One of the officers that responded that night, Cpl. Paul Skrinie, said that “even if a fight is mutual, it isn’t tolerated by university police.”
>Skrinie said no arrests were made.
So effectively, the fight was tolerated.
Perhaps Cpl. Skrinie shouldn’t speak to the press any more or at least learn the definition of the word “tolerated” before he does again.
Leftist (statists)s love this brutality and violence.
I blame Donald Trump.
One of the worst things is if you’re going to fart and more than air comes out.
I cough because of my blood pressure medication, not because I’m sick. If someone ever gets in my face, they’ll get a knuckle sandwich too.
Another example of DORK-on-DORK crime.
(….. In California, it’s probably a felony to say “GOD Bless You”… dontcha think?)
I heard the Officers took up a Defensive position outside the Library and refused to go in!
I think the student who got upset over the other student’s sneeze should have said “excuse yourself” to the other student. The student who started the fight may have had a bad day or is a hot head. So Sad this has to happen at Sac. State when we should be like a family.
Sneezing is frequently caused by allergies which are not contagious.
So now, something as common as a simple sneeze will provoke a fight ?
Hope these students include a class or two on ethics.
All your comments are pretty fucking stupid, but Gary you’re a real special idiot. Somebody should slap you silly but you’re probably too stupid and lazy to leave the house. aidios dumbo
Sac State? LOL! Shouldn’t that be Sac-LESS State???
Just imagine if the person had flatulance…
It could have been a knife fight…
Just think…if the person had flatulence instead of sneezing this could have turned in to a knife fight
People sneeze. They also fart, cough, sniff, drip, wet their pants and do various other little things. If you’re so sensitive to the things people around you do, then you need to avoid people. But you can’t really do that so maybe it’s just better to learn to live with people and their bad habits. Or you could just learn when to pick your fights and not start with people you feel might be of a mind to kick your …
Nice job Ron.
tolerant libs
Saw the tease headline on Drudge. Thought, bet it’s between snowflakes in the People Republic of California.
Bingo.
I find it funny that apparently UC Davis doesn’t have a library good enough for their students to use, so they have to go to Sac State to use theirs. And the UC (University of California, for those from out of State) is such a snowflake that he whines about a sneeze. As the great bugs bunny used to say, ‘What a maroon, what a maroon”
Really? A couple of college kids get into a fight? Wow how unusual.
Handbags at dawn…..
Kinesiology major Kevin Nguyen said he was in biology class when the power went out.
“We had to use our phone flashlights to write notes and light up the board for the teacher to write on it,” Nguyen said. “It was a mess.”
These Nguyen brothers get in on all the action at SAC State.
FROSTED SNOW FLAKES – kids of Snowflakes.
New sign needed: Sneeze-Free Zone.
I’m gonna invest in sign companies.

Everybody these days is a victim of something, and they have to project it onto other people. All the offended guy had to do was move to another area of the library. The sneezer should have kicked his ass and made him a victim again.
This whole event was restoring my faith in men being men: disagreement, confrontation and fistacuffs…. Everything sounded sort of badash right up until the UC Davis student had an asthma attack ….
Sneezing should be illegal and carry a stiff penalty for violations.
Schools now teach emotionalism. Reason, logic and realty have been rejected, on a fundamental philosophical level, by our schools and universities. “Truth” is now taught to be whatever you feel; your hopes, wishes, doubts and fears. i.e. emotions. These mental infants are simply acting on their emotions; doing as they’re taught. They are going to be disasters throughout adulthood.
Now this guy wants to go to the hospital where all the sick people are smh.
Snotflakes!
There is hope for these snowflaked triggered saps. A good old fist fight, like in the old days. Way to go guys, but next time, make the fight over a girl, not a sneeze.
“One of the officers that responded that night, Cpl. Paul Skrinie, said that even if a fight is mutual, it isn’t tolerated by university police. “This is not the behavior we support,” he said.
Skrinie said no arrests were made.”
So it IS tolerated.
That’s rich.
“One of the officers that responded that night, Cpl. Paul Skrinie, said that even if a fight is mutual, it isn’t tolerated by university police. ‘This is not the behavior we support,’ he said.

Hmmm. No arrests were made. I’m curious. How would tolerating it look any different?
ANTIFA has it’s scouts out there looking for violent young people to recruit.
The person who attacked is a bully and a lied! If he was worried about germs he would not have got close enough to him to fight. The attacker is the racist. And the victim had every right to shoot him if he had a permit to carry.
Sneezing is a microaggression, like burping or farting. The university allows such actions only in bodily emission zones (an abandoned broom closet in the basement of the Meat Substitute Research annex) or with a note purchased from the Office of Microaggression Dispensations. The notes are valid on Mondays and Thursdays during months with an “R” in them.

Did the sneezer properly sneeze into the crook of his elbow as recommended by health care professionals, or did he just blow it out into the atmosphere?
If the former, then, really, the other dude needs to suck it up and get a life, or wear a gas mask.
If, the latter, however, the sneezer was exhibiting total disregard for social norms and common courtesy, and, therefore, deserved to get his nose punched down his throat.
dem sneezahs be racis, misogymnists an’ homophones
Want to fight? Join the military and do something for the USA.
What brawl?
Amazing! Violence among snowflakes? Say it ain’t so.
Just Two Assholes fighting, both of them worthless Motherfuckers, who go to college for free, Worthless and Weak!
If these were 2 white males we’d have mug-shots. somethign tells me we are dealing with “protected classes” of people..
“This is not behavior we tolerate.” ……no arrests were made….. lmao. It seems they are tolerating it.
Let’s have a march on Washington, signs and all “No sneezing in university libraries”. The liberals in Congress should enact a law that prevents sneezing, subject to $10,000 fine and/or one year of imprisonment. This world has gone crazy!
The sneeze was caused by all those dusty old books. We should burn them all and rely on our electronic books. Besides the books are awfully heavy for these little snowflakes.
I’ll bet it was the same type of sneeze the nazi’s used. I bet it was.
It needs to be stopped!
Mr snowflake germophobe will last about two days once he has to get a job.
What’s funny is he lives in CA where millions of illegals are running around with only God knows how many undiagnosed, unrated pathogens and he is worried about a sneeze.
These snowflakes have a rude shock coming when they step out into the real world. A rude awakening followed by epic failure.
Got my mind on my money and my money on my mind .
These are the kinds of things that happen when “liberalism is a mental disorder”
it sounds like the UC Davis student thought he was a tough guy and found out he wasn’t.
Sounds like the poor triggered UC whiner got a beat down, poor little snowflake.
More news… A Placerville little boy fell down in his driveway, scraped his knee, and required medical attention from his mother. After cleaning the wound, she covered the injury with a bandaid. The boy felt much better both physically and psychologically immediately thereafter. In other words…YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING THAT THIS WAS A NEWS STORY. Is anyone actually interested in knowing two college students got in a fight?? Does the story add any valuable information to the lives of anyone?
If a simple sneeze caused a fight, what kind of altercation would a loud stinky fart cause ?
Funny that these snowflakes think they have the right to make someone leave anyplace. Spoiled brats.
Oh California, please separate already.
I’m not sure that many of the prior responders to this story have ever seen the interior of a college library
Here is what really happened. The sac state student was doing his homework and then he sneezed because of allergies. The UC Davis student then asked him if he was sick and if he was, he should leave the table. The sac state student told them that he wasn’t sick and it was just allergies. They kept heckling him by repeating if he was sick. Eventually they stopped and the sac state student resumed studying. When the sac state student was brainstorming for his essay, his eyes were wandering around and he locked eyes with one of the Davis students. Then the Davis student demanded why the sac state student was mugging him. The sac state student repeatedly told him that he was not and he was not even looking at him. The Davis student kept pushing the issue and eventually the other guy told the sac state student that he should leave the table. The sac state student said that he was not doing anything and not causing any trouble at all, so why should he leave the table. He then just said that whatever he did wrong he apologizes and says that they should shake hands to let bygones be bygones. The Davis student aggressively replies saying that he doesn’t want to shake his hand. Eventually, the sac state student decided that it was not worth it and moved to the next table. When the sac state student was resuming his studies, the Davis student was giving him a mean mug the whole time. The Davis student then said that he should leave the library and if he doesn’t, then he’ll grab his stuff and throw it out. The Davis student then walks towards the sac state student’s stuff and attempts to grab his stuff. Before he was able to, the sac state student pushes him away and demands why he is trying to grab his things. Eventually things escalated and the friend of the Davis student bear hugged the sac state student from behind and allowed the Davis student to land a couple of hits on him. Then the sac state student broke free from the bear hug and landed one hit on the Davis student which knocked him on the floor. When the Davis student was on the floor, his asthma or something activated and gave him a asthma attack. It was then the police and medics came him and carried the sac state student off on a stretcher. As you can tell from this article by the state hornet, you can see that it is very bias and paints the Davis student as a victim. Also when the police came to the library, the first thing they asked the Davis student and his friend is if they were medical students. If that doesn’t spell out bias then I don’t know what does.
The sneezed upon UC Davis student was no doubt Really Sorry about saying anything about 2 hours into his 5 hour wait in the Sacto hospital waiting room to be seen.
‘Can’t wait to see Sac State destroy Davis,in Davis, at this year’s Causeway Classic! 🙂
