BESSEMER, Alabama -- Bessemer and Hueytown police, Jefferson County sheriff's deputies and ambulances descended on the Alabama Adventure theme park in Bessemer this afternoon, with witnesses reporting numerous fights inside the park.

Bessemer police temporarily blocked the park's entrance to keep any vehicles from entering but are now allowing people into the park. However, streams of park guests have been flowing out.

Felix Torres, who was visiting the park today with his son, described it as a "borderline riot." He witnessed at least eight different fights, including chair throwing in the water park, and at least three people taken out of the park on gurneys, he said. "Every time we turned around, there was a fight," Torres said.

Black folk, evidently, have an affinity for fights at theme parks and such.

This sort of disturbance seems to be happening more and more.

Watching the video it strikes as odd that they are clothed.

Warm-up for the end stages of Cloward-Piven and some Alinsky-style Direct Action next fall...

No doubt orchestrated by Ann Coulter, whose book about the mob debuts today.

..and exactly what the heck does anyone expect from this “oppressed minority group”?

The very same “group” that caused all the issues during the Memorial day weekend?

Nothing a few automatic weapons wouldn’t solve.

Right you are, FRiend!

There is a global coordination of riots - from the islamic “spring” in ME, to the Euro uprisings to the US.

An unholy alliance between the marxists/socialists and the islamic terrorists. If they are successful, they will battle each other for full control.

May God save America and Israel!
