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.

wish you guys would stop using Amish. I full well know why, but it’s getting too bad to be insulting to those people... instead of Amish, just use the term of the “Yutes” heritage... Allow me to Demonstrate...

Zulu yutes run Wild.

This clearly does a few things... It allows the Amish to continue on, totally unaffected by these incidents, and, it focuses on the tribal heritage of the culprits and gives credit to the Zulu Tribe’s display of having zero interest in becoming part of a civilized world.

Just my cent and a 1/2...

“ it would be BLM marches till hell froze over.”

Well you don’t see BLM marching during winter when it’s freezing cold and a few feet of snow.

Oh Lord,

I would live my life in freedom, peace and happiness, enjoying the simple pleasures of hearth and home.

I would die an old, old man in my own bed, preferably of sexual overexertion.

But if that is not to be, Lord, if monsters such as this should find their way to my little corner of the world on my watch, then help me to sweep those bastards from the ramparts, because doing that is good, and right, and just.

And if in this I should fall, let me be found atop a pile of brass, behind the wall I made of their corpses.
