| We Will Continue to Rage': SWAT Breaks Up Massive Crowds Defying Curfew in Miami Beach |
| 2021-03-22 |
| [DB] MIAMI—SWAT teams moved in to disperse massive crowds of spring breakers who stayed out past an 8 p.m. curfew in Miami Beach on Saturday night, firing pepper balls and sparking a stampede as people fled. Sirens and shouting filled the air as police sought to force party-goers to leave the area. On Ocean Drive in South Beach, police rolled in about a half hour after curfew to find one huge street party. Different groups of young women had been dancing and twerking in front of giant bluetooth speaker boxes playing rap music. In front of the shuttered News Cafe on 9th and Ocean Drive, a very large crowd had gathered around four young men having a dance off, with the unmistakable odor of marijuana hanging in the air. A cop over a loudspeaker barked, "Everyone needs to leave the area. The curfew started at 8 p.m. You need to disperse." |

| #2 Racetrack service stations in Daytona ran out of fuel. Some premium was available. I see fuel shortages on the horizon as well as 4-5 dollar regular fuel prices. $2.89 regular in Virginia(Maryland)also. Fellow drove up who delivers Crispy Cream donuts to the Racetrack convenience stores mentioned this from his travels to Maryland Sunday 3/21/21. |
