Call it just another night in paradise on the famed Sunset Strip in party obsessed West Hollywood.
Last night outside the Whiskey A Go Go, an argument between club goers turned into a all out riot that has left two people in critical condition, two brothers under arrest, several minor injuries, and a whole lot of broken bottles and glass that has taken hours to clean up.

After a "disagreement" between a couple of males, it quickly flared into an all out brawl, and several by standers quickly were forced into the melee.
The fight turned into arrests, at least one vehicle run over a couple of innocent onlookers, a gun shot was fired that is being called an "officer involved shooting," and by the time members of the West Hollywood Sheriff's Department arrived on the scene late last night, an all out riot was taking place on both side of the Whiskey.

An investigation by law enforcement is still underway, and many more arrests could still be made.
Busted and hauled in the jail were Eduardo Gomez, age 20, and his 18-year-old passenger, Jesus Gomez, who is his younger brother. (see their booking photos in post above).
Two of the men beaten during the brawl were transported to a local hospital were they are listed in critical condition,. Also, another pedestrians who was hit by a car was also taken away via ambulance and is also in critical condition.
My favorite quote from the melee: "The history of the Whisky, we don't have a lot of problems," said Manager Tisa Mylar. Tisa, give me a break...

What a zoo. Your take on this riot pales compared to the FIGHTS and blood and crap that went down.
I live off the Sunset Strip. We ALL love the CHAOS in West Hollywood EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. We love the 24 hour party, that is why WE LIVE HERE!
