TAMPA (FOX 13) - New video released Tuesday by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office shows the start of what would become a massive stampede of rowdy students at the Florida State Fair that led to dozens of ejections and several arrests.
The video was shot by a vendor and handed over to investigators as they try to identify victims and make more arrests in connection to the organized stampede known as "wilding."
"It's more of a giant stampede, and that's kind of the beginning of it that you see on that video," explained Cpl. Jim Previtera. "It does give a brief glimpse of what 'wilding' looks like."
The stampede, which investigators said involved many teenagers attending with free student tickets, led to 99 ejections and 12 arrests Friday and forced authorities to shut the fair down early.
Previtera made another revelation: known gang members were involved in the ordeal; several of them even took pictures at a photo booth at the fair.
"Certainly the gang element adds an organized group into the mix that's there for one purpose, and that's certainly not to take advantage of the rides," he said. "They were there to cause problems."

get some South Korean Riot cops and quell it.
Every year this happens when they let these creatures in free of charge - every year.
SO WHY DO THEY DO IT???????
The self-imposed fear of PC accusations of "racism."
Unless we can collectively shake this fear completely from our minds, we're as good as dead.
it was a coordinated event using flash mobs and texting to kick it off similar to the bs during the ‘occupy’ crap
at some point, these people are going to get shot. the let will feign shock and dismay.... but they are the ones instigating it.
to be honest, I’m surprised people weren’t shot or stabbed considering how many people in FL carry various weapons
Free is the problem. Never make anything free unless you want the free stuff people showing up.
Free tickets are like free dope. Once you get hooked you continue and pay
I would drive the 60+ miles to the Bronx Zoo when my kids were little. Still one of the best zoos in the nation. This was pre internet days and I would call before scheduling to find out which days were FREE. Then I would schedule any weekdays EXCEPT those free days. I like my animals IN CAGES, not wandering around with the populace.
wilding... “They’re trampling patrons, knocking them over, using it as an opportunity to commit crime.”

Yes, you’d think that would happen ONE TIME, and then - no more free tickets.
Gee whiz, what a surprise. Not.
Eliminating free Obama phones would seriously cripple their ability to communicate, coordinate and stage these racist attacks. They’ll never have their own phones unless they fence stolen property to pay for them. Disrupt the reflexive tribal hive-mind by cutting off their communications.
CCW changes this.
It took a strong conservative (for a dem) black mayor in KCMO to keep this from happening at the Plaza.
Sell tickets…make it a spectator sport…or a 2020 Olympic sport.
