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.

Nope. Your second guess will be correct.

What is going on this summer? Seems like there has been some kind of trouble everywhere.

There has and in each instance it has been the same folks causing trouble.

Obama promised that they'd have their mortgages paid and a full tank of gas in their cars, and it didn't happen, so they're takin' it out on da man (i.e., white people). So much for the "post-racial" President.

Post-racial my a$$. He's set back race relations by multiple decades.

Apparently they’ve run out of hope.

Quite possibly.

There has been a general air of growing defensiveness in regards to "their" President.

The can sense the failure coming in the next election and it is beginning to manifest itself as a near non-existent fuse.

Once again I am noting that when little Ø'Bammy gets kicked out of the WH they will go absolutely nuts.

No white folks evident in the video. Odd. I thought today’s America was all about diversity?

Looks like the same groups of Amish youth that have been wilding in Chicago...It’s going to be a long summer. Stay safe, folks.

The message: re-elect Obama or we’ll burn down the country.

The cities maybe, the urban and rural, they'll get shot.

I guarantee, I know the ranges of the landmarks, the drop the bullet will take, and the free fire zones available.
If I'm the only one, there are some real idjits out there.

Houston’s Astroworld had to be shut down because of gang fights. I remember the reason given was that it was more lucrative for the land to be sold. Yeah, right. I also remember there were more and more fights and tha park before it was closed. 3rd world countries don’t get theme parks.

For some reason it's the same way at most "theme" and water parks that are within striking distance of any major Democrat parasite nest ("city"). Holder's people really love those places. "Waiting in line" doesn't often carry much meaning.

Parks that are harder to reach - - Hershey Park, for example - - tend to be nice, clean civilized places to take the family for the day.

Those kids are going to be sorry when their dad’s come home from work and find out what they’ve done. They’ll be grounded for sure.

I’ve come to the conclusion that the ghetto term, “acting white” involves a basic sense of civility.

I always take the day after the election off anyway, because I'm up all night watching the returns. Next year sounds like an extra-good time to do it.

Professor Gates would say they are simply overreacting to black people.
