Miami Beach gone wild! City declares state of emerg. for brawling spring breakers who defy curfew, twerk on cop cars

The coronavirus pandemic is on the steady decline, and nothing appears to exemplify this more than an 8:00 pm curfew that was instituted in Miami Beach this week.
But wait, wouldn’t the curfew prove that the pandemic is still raging? It would, except this curfew has far less to do with the pandemic than it does with wild, out-of-control spring breakers who’ve been partying and fighting like it’s 1999.
Speaking on CNN early Saturday evening, Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber explained.
“[D]uring the day, it’s pretty tame. People go to our 6.5 miles of beaches. The restaurants or hotels are doing a pretty good job with outdoor dining. But at night, in the entertainment district, it becomes a whole different scene. It feels like a rock concert. Wall-to-wall people over blocks and blocks,†he said.
“Last night, somebody shot a weapon in the air. There was a riot. Other things have happened that are similarly challenging. So it feels like a tinder. It feels like any match could set it off. We don’t want to wait to take these kinds of actions in the wake of a tremendous tragedy. We want to take it now when we’ve seen enough. We have definitely seen enough.â€
