The West Oaks Mall in Ocoee, Florida was the scene of a St. Valentines 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, dont shoot! or Black lives matteras occurred at recent riots around the countryhave been mentioned in any of the news reports on the Ocoee riot by the teens.

How could you think it is a joke? Does anti-Semitism amuse you?

If I were a person who owned a business, I'd definitely would invest in those steel roll-down blinds, bullet proof doors and anything else that I and my employees could use, if animals were attempting to destroy my business. I'd have a plan of action in place, and a practice run with my employees. Get wise, business people. It could happen to you. Be pro-active, instead of just standing there and allowing animals to destroy your property.

No, of course not. I’m just taken aback that you think many on FR are ‘white supremacists’ and ‘anti-Semites.’

Are you saying this mall riot didn't occur?
WESH News
There are plenty of news sources reporting this besides the New Observer, whatever that is.
Throwing around accusations of racism and anti-Semitism is pretty heavy-duty stuff.

In Chicago, the thugs organize via Facebook. They travel by bus or elevated trains to the targeted store/s. . They also drive stolen autos to the front of the store, so the loot can quickly be thrown into the auto/s and off they go. They also will walk away from the area and mingle with the crowd on the streets, so as to not be easy to identify from film footage. They're out for the booty they can steal from stores, and then re-sell to folks in the neighborhood.

Flash mobs need little in the way of outside organizing. The minds of indolent useless eaters need even less persuasion.
