The Virginian-Pilot June 11, 2004: ""The encyclopedia's descriptions of other South Hampton Roads cities includes information on the 1989 Virginia Beach Greekfest riot.

Even that description is debatable.

""Many people predicted a riot weeks in advance, and this came to pass,"" according to the encyclopedia. ""Unbiased observers suggest that the city went out of its way to make the students feel unwelcome; that the students rioted not out of anger, but out of a simple greed for the clothing displayed in the shops along the boardwalk; and that the police were out of control, attacking anyone who was black, looter or not."""
