Miami Beach officials declare spring break state of emergency, police unable to control crowds

Law enforcement officials in the City of Miami Beach announced Saturday afternoon they will enforce a nightly curfew and highway shutdowns as they struggle to control spring break crowds.

Bridges going into Miami Beach will be shut down at 10 p.m. Saturday night as part of the mayor's state of emergency plans. Gelber described the city as"under siege" from an influx of restless spring breakers last week, prompting city officials to suggest it is the result of more than one year of ongoing pandemic lockdowns throughout much of the rest of the country.

All restrictions are in place for at least 72 hours, city officials said, noting that rules may be modified or added at the end of that time period depending on people's response. Mayor Gelber said he believes that the particularly rowdy spring break vacationers packed onto the beaches and into restaurants are there because"very few places in the country are open" outside South Florida.

Last weekend, Miami Beach police pepper-sprayed spring breakers they described as"unruly," racking up at least 100 arrests in just one night.

No state deserves the jack assery more!

Scene could be titled; 'The Young And The Senseless.'

Man if only they had a heads up that thousands of teens would be swarming the beach around the same time every year

THOUSANDS WILL DIE

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

And the ignorant spring breakers will be packing up tomorrow headed to a town near you - be ready it's coming like Dr Fauci said we aren't winning the pandemic when states like Florida Texas put Americans at risk with their stupidity

You know all these self-centered idiots are going back to their states and campuses carrying covid. Will any quarantine? How many univ/college employees, coworkers, relatives and neighbors will get sick from them? How many will die? DeathSantis doesn't care.

Let 'em smash 🥳

Thanks DeSanitiser.

Time take our country back 👍

Good thing that they are all vaccinated.

‘Control’ crowds? What? Are they ‘wilding’? Rioting? Bearing arms? Set a damn curfew and put them to bed!

The world want to reset with a police state.

Stupid fools!

SOLUTION:

DeathSantis loving it! More dead liberals! His plan.

saunders4706 Wow. Im shocked they can’t control the crowd

Also of note... Looks like a sausage party.
