I'd love to know why hundreds of teens decided one day to riot and storm a movie theater and
why?Surely there's kids in this town that are decent kids who don't do stuff like this. Where the heck did HUNDREDS of kids come from? I swear, this must've been organized using malcontents from different towns....or the town itself is made up of weirdos like in
Gummo. Must find the person or people who organized this!

There's the local TV news video in that link. This happened about five miles down the road from me. I think it was just a spontaneous gathering, made on social media somewhat like a flash mob, but just a spontaneous thing where young kids got so excited after a decent crowd showed up, that it just mushroomed from retweets/snapchat/fb/whatever. Significantly - police did not kill or brutalize any of them, and called the parents for the ones they did not need to arrest for actual crimes.
As to why crazy shit happens a lot in Florida? There's a lot of people here. We just passed New York state in population. The weather is nice, there's work and cheap shitty housing available, still lots of foreclosed houses to cook meth in, great place to grow weed - indoors or out in the many hectares of piney woods - and this is still a huge entry point for cocaine from Central and South America, so plenty of dealers, drug gangs, and addicts, etc. etc.
So everybody in Florida is either senile, stoned or Mickey Mouse....Gotcha!
That explains it. It was probably some thing like "Let's flash-mob
Fifty Shades of Grey for the lulz, *hurr hurr*" and they got more than they bargained for. More kids from all over the surrounding counties came and a few hoodlums along with them and a "Funny movie theater flash mob" morphed into "Epic town riot of hundreds!".
It's like the plot of an episode of
The Cosby Show where a Theo, a decent kid, decides to throw a nice little party with friends...only for more to show up and it turns into
Animal House (to Theo's chagrin).
[OFF TOPIC: Thanks to the whole Bill Cosby rape debacle, I'll never be able to enjoy his stuff again....and I LOVED BILL COSBY's COMEDY! Why must my fave comedian turn out to be likely a serial rapist?! WHY WHY?!!.....Now, back to Florida.....]
Well, at least the cops were reasonable officers and not thugs in blue......and that this craziness didn't involve a James Holmes wannabee.
