GUNFIRE ERUPTS as Nearly 1000 ‘Teens’ Storm Movie Theater – Loot Gas Station in Florida
Gateway Pundit ^ | 2/15/15 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 02/16/2015 8:29:14 AM PST by Enlightened1

The West Oaks Mall in Ocoee, Florida was the scene of a St. Valentine’s Day riot by nearly one thousand middle and high school students, several of them armed, who stormed a movie theater at the mall and then looted a nearby gas station

Police reported gun shots were fired in the air by the ‘teens’, but that no one was wounded.

Estimates of the size of the mob range from around 800 to 900. Only one person was reported to be arrested.

WESH-TV in Orlando, Florida reported on the riot.

“Investigators said about 800 teens tried to rush into the movie theater at the West Oaks Mall about 11 p.m., and a couple of hundred made it inside.

“When security guards were able to push the crowd outside, officials said the teens ran into a parking lot where fights erupted and gunshots were fired into the air.

“Authorities with the Ocoee Police Department said they heard more gunshots and responded to a nearby Taco Bell, where a teenager was arrested.

“Drugs and a stolen car were found during the investigation.

“Meanwhile, investigators said the teens moved across Colonial Drive and gathered at a nearby gas station.

“A whole bunch of kids came in the store and just started stealing stuff,” witness Taylor Davis said. “They (were) just taking everything out of the store, and then the kids (were) just trying to fight the owner, and everybody was just trying to fight.”

There were no political overtones to the riot reported. No chants of “Hands up, don’t shoot!” or “Black lives matter”–as occurred at recent riots around the country–have been mentioned in any of the news reports on the Ocoee riot by the ‘teens’.

They were all going to see 50 Shades of Black.

Sure; for all the talk about a “digital divide” the blacks/Hispanics I work with all have more expensive phones than me. Technology alone won’t teach people how to form sentences or perform basic math.

In fact, the more tech seems to be removing some of the basic language skills from kids today.

If I had a business within a dozen miles of a welfare hatchery I’d have the doors that can be locked from behind a bulletproof partition; the cops could go through the security cameras and arrest those dumping loot...

No wonder we have “food deserts”; in my area (on the border of the Newark NJ hive) our pizzerias won’t deliver there, and taxis and tow trucks don’t go there either. They used to; now they know better...

They were mostly unarmed, under aged teens. probably their moms had taken thalidomide during their pregnancies causing the birth defect in these one to twelve year old teens. It was a protest against big pharmacy thus explaining the targeting of the movie house and the pit stop and rob.

That is the complaint of many teachers; I guess it a natural consequence of a young population that doesn’t read books at all. I’m no Harry Potter fan, but I always thought at least those kids were reading SOMETHING. To me remembering how to spell a word always came from remembering what it looked like in print (I always read a lot, since childhood); once people never see print anyway (except abbreviated text messages), then it becomes much harder.

I just assumed it was a “flash rob” they set up themselves; if there was a professor/commissar involved they would have at least hid behind the banner of some sort of political statement.

*****

hold on. Let's not be so critical. The 1000 kids just wanted to see the new "Sponge Bob" movie, but the just didn't have enough money.

Yes, I shouldn’t have jumped to conclusions...

I don’t know about this place, but here in northern NJ I don’t think residential areas in the ‘hood have any theaters (or much else that can be pillaged).

The New Observer is a anti-Semitic site dedicated to Holocaust denial. You should be ashamed to post any of their filth.

Care to elaborate, that's a damning statement. I'm not familiar with the history of The New Observer. Enlighten me.

There is certainly nothing anti-Semitic about the article I posted.

As for me being ashamed of posting this article, I'm not. Why be ashamed of the truth?

The real shame is the so-called mainstream media that goes out of it's way to avoid identifying black criminal behavior.

I recommend you read all the comments on this thread and on the thread linked at post #17.

Decide for yourself whether or not there is hate and racism on display. Whatever you conclude is fine with me. I’m not here to twist arms.

Waste of time to refer me to your links.

If you have something to say, say it.

There are a lot of people pissed off these days, justifiably so, about the racial nonsense (and, yes, racial violence) spreading across the land.

Does the language sometimes get heated on FR? Yes. Sometimes too racially charged? Yes, although the mods do a good job of keeping things in check.

“I recommend” you listen to the filth spewed from the other side on an hourly basis and give some thought to wonder just who is waging a race war against whom.

There's no longer a need for you to enlighten me. I've done some research on The New Observer. They do in fact publish anti-semitic articles and such a website should not be used as a source here on Free Republic. I'm pleased to report that Jim has pulled the thread I posted.
