GUNFIRE ERUPTS as Nearly 1000 ‘Teens’ Storm Movie Theater – Loot Gas Station in Florida 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’.

The media disagrees again... Thank you Gat. continued! Officials said the trouble spread to nearby businesses on West Colonial Drive. The incident ended about midnight, and police said no injuries were reported. 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.” “Our main concern is this: These are middle and high school kids going to a public movie theater, some armed with guns, some firing guns, some fighting in the parking lot, disturbing everyone else there. Not only that, but putting them in danger with the the violence they’re creating,” Orange County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Paul Hopkins said. Investigators said they were able to get the teens under control. They contacted parents who came to pick them up.
