Shooting breaks out during a hang-out event at Miami Lakes, FL

[Eagledives]

I used to go to Main Street in the 90's .Had breakfast in Vie de France almost averyday and dinner/lunch at Tony Romas, the Italian Restaurant and inside the Don Shula Hotel.Back then it was very quite and trendy place to be.Never imagined it would become such a low class, hard core criminal heaven !Will never go back there again and will not recommend it to any one.

[bigboy6969100]

All I see is nigger nigger and some ref and more niggers hell I got rob by nigger going to club space so fuck space

[bigboy6969100]

What happen it look like godzaillia pass by there lol I will never go there dam u asshole

[DreamsInHD]

never going to Main Street again in my life.

Fucking Gangbanging niggers.

[MsJimizeppelin]

I removed my comments b/c this is all so sad. So much hatred. This is not the way things used to be there. The was the part of the South where all people were welcome. There has always been a substantial Cuban community as well as a Black community. People used to get along. I am sorry to see how much hatred has generated throughout the years. I wish you all peace and healing and hopefully some horrible lessons were learned. God Bless you all

[slicric131]

How can you not be a Lil stereotypical. The whole video I practically saw only blacks. They are asking to be made fun off. I'm Hispanic, if I saw a bunch of Spanish people I would have also said the same thing. It's crazy but it's a bit of everything to achieve their behavior. No education, no responsibility, disregard for human life, poor parenting and the list goes on. Miami is no longer a place where everyone gets along

[prettyqirlterra]

I am a black teenager & i attended Main street that night. Just because we're black doesn't mean we are "thugs and gang-bangers" i hate how you people are stereotypical . 1 gunshot was fired. the other times people ran because others were running. our entire generation is fucked, not only black people. but the people who raised us are the ones to blame . do not worry about your precious neighborhood because we are not allowed there anymore. btw, you probably deserved getting you car egged -__-

[ydl0820]

I too resided in miami lakes area. For the past couple of weeks all you see is crap going on in the area. miami gardens etc.., an older man killed $1.25 walking to work to walmart. Several months ago two kids at the mobil killed for his car which he was gladly giving up. On Christmas eve i was shopping at walmart and some guy wouldnt leave me alone asking for a dollar and then preceeded to follow ppl around in the store. sadly they were all black.

[potheadofourfuture]

Man I was sitting at the fountain well everyone was running lol

[zeroxanthony]

It has nothing to do with black people Just ignorant people the fact there black is irrelevant, there are TONS of ignorant ref's in Hialeah who do nothing but make problems just like there is white people who do the same and every other race

[anewdimnsion]

... black people.

period

[lovebone222]

I have lived in the area for 1.5 years, not too long. But like you lilYesenia, I clearly understand that this has absolutely nothing to do with race. It simply another reigning example of what happens when you have a large number of individuals gather in one place – and in this case, an impromptu gathering.

[lovebone222]

In most situations, gathering of this size requires permits from most municipalities and enough law enforcement to assist in controlling the crowd. But yet again, this was an impromptu gathering, sparked by twitter and facebook.

Life experience has shown that gatherings of this size, permitted or not - you will always have a handful of idiots that spoil the event for the rest.

[monsterzeroJr]

In Russian they're called "Negry"

"Negern" in German

"Czarnuchy" or "Asphalt" in Polish

I'm trying to build up my vocabulary so I know that word in multiple languages.

[IiIYESENIA]

lack of parenting...

[IiIYESENIA]

lovebone222 how long have you lived in the area?

[IiIYESENIA]

its not about race its about how stupid one can get. this is ridiculous no matter what color your skin is. this should not happen!

[lovebone222]

To understand my posts, please read all five from bottom to top starting with the one labled post 1 of 3, although unfortunately it resulted in 5 posts.

[lovebone222]

BTW, I try my best to never stoop to the level of others, but if you want to see a zoo like atmosphere filled with drugs, thugs and stupidity – simply go to the movie theater on west 49th St, dare to walk down the streets of Little Havana or Wynwood at night. Also, if you live in Westchester, you really need to consider placing window bars or alarms on your homes, as the white Latin niggers are coming to get you.

5 of 5 post

[lovebone222]

The only “niggers” I would assume that are posting insanely ignorant comments to this blog are white Latin niggers? Unfortunately 4 of 5 post

[lovebone222]

– but yet they and their parents want to suggest that their better than the ones they complain about.

To close, I cannot speak for other African-Americans; I do not get upset by this term as it is used to describe ignorance. But may I be so bold to ask that if you are going use the word “nigger” in an attempt to belittle African-Americans, please by all means SOUND LIKE YOUR EDUCATED. 3 of 3 post

[lovebone222]

For the IGNORANT MORONS who that consistently come from out of the wood works, an attempts to interject uneducated, bias, derogatory terms to please their palliate of deeply rooted hate. I would suggest that on any given weekend, come to Main Street and you will find your Latin “thugs” hanging out. These are some of the same kids that come from a household whereas back in early 80’s their mothers and fathers imported and sold drugs in the street of Miami-Dade County 2 of 3 posts

[lovebone222]

I normally would not reply to things of this nature, but being that I reside in the area – I submit the following. I am of African-American descent and a mentioned before, I live in the area. The weekend of Christmas 2011 was by far different from most weekends on Main Street. I would reach out on a limb and suggest that 99% of the kids came to Main Street as a result of social networking – and to simply enjoy themselves/ the evening. 1 of 3 posts

[DreamsInHD]

@lovebone222 lovebone222, Please write a book btw, tl;dr.

[bkc587]

@AlberikAlf wow, good to see how well educated you are. 75% of the Cubans probably swam over here or came on a boat illegally to a country full of rich and affluent blacks and whites but yet you talk shit about the blacks. Bet you wouldn't say that to a "niggers" face. Were both minorities, asshole and your the ones here illegally. Whens the last time you saw us "niggers" at an immigration office. Don't worry, I'll wait....

Signed

-the well educated and non violent black guy

[xscaduto]

All I see is black beans and no rice!

[mart9230]

Why didn’t the city of Miami Lakes take preventive action before an incident like this occurs? This has been an escalating issue for many years and the city was well aware. How many more people need to get assaulted at gun point in the parking lots? That’s what happens when a group of people that don’t belong to this neighborhood take advantage of our tolerance and acceptance. Definitely a wake up call for America.

[luna1543]

Operator- 911 what's seems to be the emergency?

Man- um... I'm here in Miami lakes and there looks to be like an entire angry mob of chimpanzees.

Operator- ok now just wait ill be transferring your call to the local zoo. animal control is on the way...

[eduardorox0694]

It doesn't cease to amaze me that this happened in a place that is meant for families to come together and enjoy an evening. The extreme stupidity of the people involved is just shameful. It's a lack of respect for the community and people around them.

[weekdaywings]

This was one of the usual hangouts of my youth. Now I would not dare bring my family here at night. The blacks come down from Carol City or Miami Gardens or some other sh*t whole and are destroying the peace in this community. They just will not sit quietly through a movie, and what is worse, they have an obsession with Latin girls. I have witnessed plenty of altercations that began because a Hispanic girl refused some black "teen's" advances and he wouldn't take no for an answer.

[tonyalaw11]

@weekdaywings

You are very ignorant and you are talking about family. My child goes to a diverse school and has always gone to a diverse school. ALL of the children behave the same rather they are white, hispanic, or black. You need to change your attitude before your child grows up like the rest of the youth you are complaining. As an educator, hispanic girls are no different from any other girl neither is hispanic boys toward black girls. Please, for the sake of your kids, get it together

[AlberikAlf]

Let's face it.

It's just Niggers being NIGGERS.

It doesn't matter where they are in the world, a Nigger, will always be a Nigger.

Call me a "racist" White Cuban all you want.

Un Negro es un Negro, nunca cambia ni progresa.

[zeroxanthony]

@AlberikAlf

So its okay for you to say all 'niggers' are like that but im sure if they said all you cuban's need to cut my lawn or swim back to cuba you'd cry like a bitch lol

[AlberikAlf]

@zeroxanthony

Better a Cuban landscaper than a generational welfare queen.

[zeroxanthony]

@AlberikAlf

I didn't say landscaper that actually takes knowledge, and I'm pretty sure Latin percentage of welfare is pretty high so don't think being Cuban makes you better than blacks everyone equal. The ghetto people well there equal to shit but just to be African American is nothing wrong, your not really even racist just a ignorant dumbass lol

[tonyalaw11]

@zeroxanthony

I really hope that none of you are adults. The real problem is that OUR youth does not value life and they have no respect. We as adults are not setting examples for them by talking like this on this blog. Mainstreet has always served a diverse crowd so the problem is not race, the problem is youth and until parents start setting examples this is the end result. You all need to grow up and set an example for your kids.

[tonyalaw11]

@AlberikAlf

That's the same for any race. All races have a stereotype. I just want our youth to do better and it starts with adults. I don't usually respond to blogs but the comments on this blog really disturbed me. My family was actually there and my daughter was on her way. I am also a "black" parent who has enjoyed taking my daughter to mainstreet and would never go back so I know that it is not a race issue because the crowd is diverse!

[gokillyourself6969]

@zeroxanthony

And don't fool yourself: Cubans don't cut anyone's lawns. And we definitely don't swim back to Cuba. Dumb post.

[zeroxanthony]

@gokillyourself6969

I guess you have no idea how to read than, I never said they do i said You act like it's okay to say all black people are these stupid ghetto pieces of shit , but if someone said shit like that about cubans you would say how racist and wrong it is.

[gokillyourself6969]

@AlberikAlf

Wow, I'm Cuban, and I find your comment unbearably insulting.

[AlberikAlf]

@gokillyourself6969

I find you unbearably naive.

Trying taking a trip down to Miami Gardens, Opa-Locka, or Overtown. Let's see if your black brothers accept you with open arms "Docta King."

[DreamsInHD]

@AlberikAlf Damn guy that's fucked up, Not all black people are "Niggers" Just the ones that are slick to the mouth and ignorant enough to talk shit for no reason.

[MsRay49]

@IveGotYourChange Uhh Your A Racist Ass Bitch!..Because Im Pretty Sure You ''Guys'' Are Pretty Much Crazy Yourselves! Rachel Out And You Cunts Are Dismissed! Fuck You Thought This Was?!

[tonyalaw11]

@MsRay49

Yes "population control" will be achieved. One idiot in jail and one idiot dead. Whose to say that you won't be the idiot dead? There is always someone with a bigger gun (Mr. Smith and Mrs. Wesson) than yours. ; )

[CustomVideoEditingV2]

everytime i went there, the only main ppl i saw there were rockers, emos, preps, and those drug sellers. this was the last cool place i had near to home to hang out in. i use to hang in muvico but now its crowded with ref parties which is worse.

[manilo63]

All I see is a bunch of black people running like crazy. I have nothing against black people, but when I see them in crowds, I just leave or just keep going because I know that 90&% of the time something wrong will happen. They just don't know how to behave.

[sjhosin]

@manilo63 I'm black and I think the EXACT same thing. Especially if it's a crowd of "gangsters." Rarely do they represent black people well.

[ItsallaboutTrevor]

@manilo63 it was a hispanic who did the shooting and a hispanic who got shot.. it's 2012, lets not be so narrow minded and grow up

[BiGBeRt3o5]

Main Street has always been bullshit, this isnt nothing new and the curfew was first created years ago because of the this. All you have is lil pussy ass jits thinking they some hard shit tryin to act hard in front of thier lil hoes. Unless your fuckin 15 no one still goes there LoL.

[jasonc32amg]

Paging animal control...

[MsRay49]

Man Fuck Da Police Im Stilll Goin

[tonyalaw11]

@MsRay49

You need to stay home. Attitudes like yours is part of the reason we encounter situations like this. I hope you are one of the under 18 year olds who will not be permitted after 8.

[bigboy6969100]

Does any one know what really happen cause for some one to shot in the movie theater for no reason was the movie that bad

[taevia05]

@GeneralDodo I wasnt only referring to the comment on here i've also heard things elsewhere. I agree wit some of what ur sayin but my comment came from alot of different events being escalated. But hey it is what it is

[bigboy6969100]

When I say space I mean club space

[bigboy6969100]

Overtown has space so I went cause ot has free parking I went but I attracted them with my fake watch those nigger saw me then I got jump I hate those people I a spic I. Also hate my own kind

[BeeJayy305]

I Was There I Was Gone I Left All My Friends Smh I Neva Ran So Fast Now Main Street Have A Curfew For Those Kids

[zeroxanthony]

This has nothing to do with race and color of skin it just has to do with ignorant retards lol

[jasonc32amg]

@zeroxanthony It  has to do with culture...

[zeroxanthony]

@jasonc32amg

ghetto radio rap culture .

[Ernesto3054Life]

smh at least action is being taken

[flyingmonkeyninja13]

This place used to be so nice and calm. Things really need to change.... It's incredible that the nice peaceful town I was raised in is turning into this.

[meccarose]

@flyingmonkeyninja13 HAHAHAHAHA WELCOME TO THE NEW MIAMI IN MIAMI LAKES. RUINED!!!!

[iluvtodance123]

omg



[SpitfireZero]

You stupid asses ruined main, I remember now why I don't like going there now. Ignorant motherfuckers.

[oku12]

OCCUPY MAIN STREET

[bigboy6969100]

Over town is worse I got rob by black never got rob by my kind so I really don't know what happen I will not go to main st any time soon I go there for ice cream cold stone and that is it just kid runing around bf gf kissing I think guy pull out a gun cause he can't get none

[cjcpop2011]

Wow! I just heard about this on 7 news.

[mrdesrt100]

dude everything happened soo fast first i was watching mission impossible then a shoot-out happened..man i ran soo fast i hopped in my car w/ my friends and gone.

[taevia05]

For u ignorant ppl that would respond about where theres black theres trouble how bout u open ur eyes. White kids destroy property, they kill and overdose!! So before u label anything wit a racial comment check the insane asylum race status first!

[GeneralDodo]

@taevia05 You can't fight racism with racism. I've only seen one mention that refers to race directly in the entire comments log. Playing the race card is in itself, also racist because you're inferring that you're superior only because of the color of your skin, no matter what race you are. Anyone is capable of destroying, killing or overdosing. The human mind is what causes all of these things to happen, not a pigment.

[305cq]

Waznt any terriost attack juz a bunch of teenagers dere juz sumbody tried sumbody md dey pulled da stick #LOWKEY

[braileng]

sht... thats like the parking lot rit?? from the movie theater??

[bigboy6969100]

Wow I go there my self now am not safe

[TheMartin7320]

cut taxes!!!! we have too many cops let everyone run crzzy !!

[PrettyBossLove]

you say "we couldn't believe what we were seeing" like black people are some type of aliens . its rude & just because that girl disrespectrd you doesn't mean everyone else's child is like that.

[Astrosimi]

@PrettyBossLove I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion - that was not the uploader's meaning at all. As a former resident, Main Street and the rest of Miami Lakes is usually - or WAS usually - a very serene and crime free area. Shoot-outs here are practically unheard of. I haven't actually lived there for a couple of years, although contacts I have in the area have given me the impression it's going downhill.

[elcubaniton1]

Somebody got caught with their guard down.!

What if this had been a well orchestrated terrorist attack?

Good thing it was not.!!!

Call me paranoid but I rather be paranoid and ready than surprised .and not ready.

This was not funny nor will it ever be funny.

It had been working its way crawling slowly into Miami lakes and some knew that one day something like this would happen..

When nothing is done in order to prevent bad things from happening bad things will happen.

Hopefully this the last.

[Culex316]

No...fucking...way...I live about 5 min from that place....I had no idea this took place on Christmas...absolutely insane

[LexilovesDiggy1]

I would have never thought that would happen, i practically live there

[Redpanda290]

I was there ....... i've never ran so fast in my life.

[Ogimgood]

@Redpanda290

Hi- I'm a reporter with Channel 10 and would like to talk to you about what happened on Main Street. My name is Kellie Butler. Please email me at kbutler@wplg.com

Thanks.
