Five teenagers were arrested when a 600-person brawl broke out in a Florida movie theater's parking lot on Christmas night.

Described by police as a "melee," the fight occurred around 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday outside the Hollywood River City 14 movie theater in Jacksonville when a group tried to storm the theater's doors without purchasing tickets, police said. Several had rushed an off-duty police officer working as a security guard.

The officer "administered pepper spray to disperse the group, locked the doors and called for backup, following protocol," said Lauri-Ellen Smith, a spokeswoman for the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

Soon after the pepper spray was used, "upward of 600 people moving throughout a parking lot about the size of a football field began fighting, disrupting and jumping on cars," she said.

Sixty-two police officers were called to the scene to break up the brawl, "sequestering them and separating them," Smith said.

Only minor injuries and damage to property were reported. No gunshots were fired, according to Smith.

I was figuring it was the movie adaptation of “Dreams of My Father” or something...

Well, why not? Tom Hanks is a commie just like the black thugs.

I sincerely doubt these yutes stay up every night debating political and economic theory. They are useful idiots for socialists, but nothing more. Most of them could not spell "communist" even if you spotted them all of the consonants (writing it in cursive is out of the question). They are feral, and when it comes to any deeper societal thought, they are purely tribal. Not a coherent political or economic thought to be found.

LOL we need to get a pic of a bunch of real bearded Amish guys in hoodies.

Funny but what we really need are well-armed, steady-handed Patriots at these venues to rid the world of these savage sub-human beasts. No offense intended to actual beasts including but not limited to lions, wildebeests, cheetahs...

“took a fighting stance” “took an aggressive stance” .

Wish I knew what those terms mean to the cops. Don't want to do either by accident.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Mandela?

[colorado tanker]

I guess they were celebrating “cooperative economics” with the theater. Just cooperate and hand over the economics.

[BenLurkin]

Maybe Saving Mr. Banks.

There are some die hard Tom Hanks fans out there.

If the Amish youts are invading movie theaters, let Hollywood $$ fund the security.

It would work alright.

The participants in the mob incivility were definitely not Amish. They were N’s

This is quite possibly my favorite video of all time (even though the actor, Shatner, is a known leftist: Thank God for Guns. It never gets old after thousands of viewing. Heck, it's downright inspirational!

Soon after the pepper spray was used, "upward of 600 people moving throughout a parking lot about the size of a football field began fighting, disrupting and jumping on cars," she said.

Message sent: "If you attempt to stop us from seeing movies for free, we will create so much property damage that you will regret opposing our will".

The only counter that would work would be to kill a few of the rioters, but that tactic has its own issues.

“*Flash mob. I saw them strip a beverage truck clean in downtown DC in about a minute and a half. * Technology should not be in the hands of savages”

Yet we’ll hear ad nauseum how a “digital divide” keeps them poor and larcenous...

Damn. This is the movie theater right by my house. As far as Jacksonville goes, it's a decent part of town. Everything's brand-new.

Which may be why the ferals gathered.

I could see a gang trying a tactic of "pay us off, or a few hundred yutes will visit your establishment and trash it".
