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’.

Oh, those teens!
I want to know who organized them. You don’t get 1,000 people (even “teens”) to decide to invade something as innocuous as a movie theater without somebody doing some advance work. A “Black Lives Matter” professor at the local state university, perhaps? A community organizer of some kind?
Methinks some info is missing...
This strikes me as a PC scrubbed report devoid of almost any useful information. There should have been mass arrests and the ferals given a real deterrent to any repeat performances. Instead, there are a few token actions and those will probably have either no charges or a small fine.
A “group of underage teens” must be the new “secret handshake phrase” used by the lame stream to mean a gang of black kids. What’s an underage teen anyway? And since it’s against the law for someone under 21 to have a handgun, this report must be false.
A couple of other threads from yesterday about this event if anyone is interested in reading them.

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.
I know that mall , it used to be the State of the Art and very popular. It used to be nice place with families and events during the holidays.
Now the blacks have ruined it. In only about 10 years.
Now many of the stores closed and Most humans avoid the area all together, I guess its the fault of “White Flight”. Damn white people /S
WESH-TV has been changed to "more than 200". Sounds like media scrubbing the story to help their world view.
Prime example as to why citizens need automatic weapons for self defense ... not that establishing that need has anything to do with the right to bear those arms.
This has been going on weekly, and sometimes more often, ever since Thanksgiving. Pittsburgh, Orlando, Baltimore, Anaheim, and a dozen others... and of course, nobody in the news will connect the dots.
And again, this is the 20th such incident in the past 3 months. Someone is practicing their raising chaos skills.
Prepper Ping of the defensive nature...
Lives that matter?
A flash mob started by Holder or obama?
The New Observer is a anti-Semitic site dedicated to Holocaust denial. You should be ashamed to post any of their filth.
Take all their sailfoams away so they meet-up
I find that most all of the reporting on CH 13(Bright House Networks)
is the residue from Miami Herald, Orlando Sentinel, Tampa “Tribe” and other left wing yellow journalistic endeavors!
When they are covering anything political or near political, it’s either turn it off or have a large Barf-Bag at hand!
With so many open and unabashed white supremacists on FreeRepublic these days — I fear it won’t be long before the anti-Semites come out of hiding.
Should have locked the doors and run ‘Birth of a Nation.’
Only one arrest? Right there is the problem.
