"At the campus of Ole Miss in Jackson, Mississippi, things got a little out of hand after Barack Obama's re-election was confirmed, AP reports:
"A protest at the University of Mississippi against the re-election of President Barack Obama grew into a crowd of about 400 students with shouted racial slurs as rumors of a riot spread on social media.
Two arrests were reported. University officials say there were no injuries or property damage Tuesday night.
A university spokesman says the gathering began after midnight with 30 to 40 students protesting Obama's re-election but quickly grew. Rumors exploded on Twitter after student journalists posted a video calling the gathering a riot.
Chancellor Dan Jones condemned the disturbance, saying most students and faculty are "ashamed" of the actions of a few."
