Panama City Beach, FL – Over 160 people were arrested and at least 75 illegal guns were seized by police after a mob of violent criminals descended on the popular beachside community of Panama City Beach over the weekend, according to police.

Traffic was gridlocked and multiple businesses closed up shop over the weekend as the riotous group tore through the town, WBMM reported.

A frenzy of social media posts from concerned residents and visitors soon followed, to include complaints of people jumping on cars and causing chaos in local businesses.

Pedestrians struggled to get down the sidewalks due to the densely-packed throngs of people.

“We were getting run over by people,” visitor Ladariya Gurley told WBBM. “They were pushing us.”

One clip from inside a Walmart showed a rowdy crowd of people trashing the store and throwing merchandise throughout the aisles.

Police shut down a two-mile stretch of Front Beach Road beginning at approximately 9 p.m. on Saturday, according to FOX News.

Gunfire broke out at a Waffle House on Front Beach Road on Sunday, the Panama City News Herald reported.

A 21-year-old Alabama man suffered a gunshot wound to his foot, according to police.

During another incident, a police officer suffered a cut to his head after someone hit him with a beer bottle, WBBM reported.

Another officer was bitten by a member of the mob, according to WJHG.

A vast majority of the group had either left town or was in jail by late Sunday, according to police.

Panama City Beach Police Department (PCBPD) Chief J.R. Talamantez, Panama City Police Department (PCPD) Chief Mark Smith, Bay County Sheriff Tommy Ford and a contingent of area law enforcement officials held a press conference Monday to discuss the mayhem, the Panama City News Herald reported.

This is isolated behavior. It is always the same people.

It was just an Obama rally with support for the SCOTUS Jackson nomination.

All cultures are equal. I will not judge the ways of other cultures, but learn and take inspiration from them.

Illegal guns in Florida? Now that’s a little bit of a man-bites-dog story.

“people
“mob of violent criminals”
“riotous group”
“densely-packed throngs of people”
“Waffle House”
“Alabama man”
“someone hit the officer with a beer bottle”
“member of the mob”
“the group”

IF ONLY there were some descriptions of the perps.

We had gunfire at a Beavercreek, Ohio Waffle House a couple of weeks ago after an argument over staffing levels.

That’s just one of many places that the ghetto rats have turned into “no go zones”.

Isn’t the harming of grits a capitol offense down here?

Ah, spring break.

How many times has the governor of FL called out the National Guard for spring break?

Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, Daytona?

Looks like the situation was handled well by PD and FHP.
