Teens Start a Riot at Movie Theater, and Rob Gas Station
February 16,2015

In Ocoee, Florida on Valentines Day, hundreds of high schoolers stormed a local movie theater at West Oaks mall. It started with a couple hundred kids running into the place, making a lot of noise and causing a big disturbance. They were trying to start a bunch of fights with each other. Then a couple hundred more of them were gathering outside in the parking lot, and some were even armed with guns, firing them in the air. They were robbing people and trying to steal cars. Then some headed to a gas station close by, where they just ran inside and starting stealing anything they could grab. The owner tried to stop them, but they would just try to start a fight. Police finally showed up to try to stop all of them, and it resulted with two kids getting arrested.
