A Six Flags fight this past Saturday turned a Halloween celebration called Fright Fest into a fight fest that resulted in multiple injuries at Six Flags America. One 15-year-old boy was beaten so severely during the Six Flags fight that he’s in a coma.
In a related report by The Inquisitr, earlier this month the iconic Colossus roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain caught fire and the peak of one section even collapsed. There was also a belief that a Six Flags fight might break out when Six Flags held military appreciation day at the same time as Muslim family day.
According to Fox News, initially the company denied that the Six Flags fight even took place, saying, “Reports of mass fighting or serious injuries are completely inaccurate. The safety of our guests is of top priority.” But Six Flags officially changed their stance when they released a statement on Sunday night that said, “This park has a zero tolerance for inappropriate behavior. We will not allow any individuals or groups to disrupt the typical atmosphere of fun and enjoyment found here.”
Initial 911 reports began to stream in at about 8:50 p.m. local time that violence had broken out. According to witnesses, the Six Flags fight was not simply a single brawl that grew in size. There were multiple fights throughout the park, even outside the gates. Some customers claim there were not enough security personnel available to handle the crowds.
According to The Washington Post, Katrina Walker dropped off her son and two of his friends for a birthday celebration at the park and she says the Six Flags fight was total chaos.
“It was panic, mayhem, chaos,” said Walker. “Everyone was fearful. . .parents were very scared because we had no idea if our children were hurt or if they got in the middle of something.”
Zina Pierre is a family friend of the DuVal High School freshman whose skull was fractured. She says the boy was caught up in the Six Flags fight even though he didn’t want to be involved.
“His life is lying in the balance as a result of someone randomly hitting him,” said Pierre. “He was hit blindly by the perpetrators and he was staggering, trying to get up, and some else came along to finish the deed. He should be in school today. He shouldn’t be in the hospital.”
Doctors put him into an induced coma to prevent further brain stimulation that could complicate his injuries. Fortunately, police say the youth is expected to survive the attack.
The Six Flags fight resulted in a variety of injuries, from missing teeth to bruises and cuts. Some witnesses even say they saw someone wielding a knife. Police have not made any arrests yet and the incident is being investigated.
There is a movie called “Purge”?
I don’t think knock-out assaults are involved here, as I am pretty sure that there are not white victims.
At the Six Flags in our town during one fright fest thugs started a fore at one end of the park to cover a fight at the opposite end
Who's their event planner? Morton Downey Jr.?
Okay, you can ignore my question; I found a description of the movie:
The Purge Plot In an America wracked by crime, the government has sanctioned an annual 12-hour period in which any and all criminal activity—including murder—is legal. The police can’t be called. Hospitals suspend help. It is one night when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment. On this night plagued by violence and an epidemic of crime, one family wrestles with the decision of who they will become when a stranger comes knocking.

Apparently there was and this was hoaxed in July and August spreading by social media that REAL LIVE purges in which you could commit any crime for 12 hours and get away with it.
This “movie” was from 2013. Sequel in the works IIRC.

I suspect you mean a fire. I have never been to one of these amusement parks, but they seem to attract a charming clientèle, huh?
oops, followed order of post. It Does sound like something Govt. could do in the future.
Okay. Thanks.
Sounds like the movie premise may be coming true. Life imitating art, etc.
Indeed
Yes it should be fire

My hat is off to you. I have the advantage of working on a normal keyboard. It would take me forever to use a keyboard the size of the one you are working with, as I would be erasing and retyping constantly.
Cute story regarding posting with a cell phone. This happened about 4 years ago, shortly before Easter. The wife of one of my many nephews was annoyed with herself for having waited too long to go shopping for candy for the kids’ Easter baskets. At the time her two children were an 18-month-old boy and a 4-year-old girl.
While she was in the store, she posted on Facebook a comment in which she was describing herself as “procrastinating mother”. However, what she did not realize until many responding comments later was that, thanks to Autocorrect, she had described herself as a “procreating mother”. Everyone thought she was making an announcement. :)
