PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Two Alabama men are accused of inciting or encouraging a riot after authorities said messages were spread online encouraging the spring break “takeover” of a Florida beach town, authorities said.

More than 160 people were arrested, about 75 illegal guns were confiscated and several businesses closed during a wild weekend late last month in Panama City Beach, police said.

Social media influencers and others promoted “Panamaniac” on Facebook and other social media platforms, authorities said.

Demarion Ty’Quan Cooper, 20 and Rashad Boyce Glasper, 25, were arrested Thursday at their homes in the Alabama cities of Troy and Wetumpka, police said.

1. Just wondering if the response would be the same

If they had names like Bubba Jones, Buffy DoWell, or James Smith.

Somebody once tried to sell us a timeshare in Ft Lauderdale during spring break week. Told the guy to give us our freebie tickets and we’d let him try selling to some unsuspecting couple.

2. Panamanic ---- Next spring, I'm gonna promote

"Mara-loco. Spring Break the place apart."

Don't forget to bring your guns to show your support for the 2nd Amendment.

3. Where's The NRA In All This

Police are taking away their guns!



TBH, I don't know how you can say you support the police and be a fervent 2nd amendment person. Most police are not going to appreciate someone visibly displaying a gun in their line of work. People seem to fantasize about being in a gun fight and plugging the bad guy. All I can see is becoming a distraction for any police on the scene.

5. Two Alabama men or two punks?

6. The very same folks here who are clapping about this

Think Trump is blameless for Jan 6th. Part of what got those guys in trouble is Panamaniac is a legit event put on by legit businesses on the beach. They issued cease and desist orders for those two to stop using their name but… they obviously didn’t. The legit business notified local LEOs in January and, IMHO, they failed to adequately prepare. I think they are looking for an excuse, any one will do, to completely shut down spring break.

7. 'Panamanic' would have been just as good.

8. I thought this kind of lawlessness only happened in woke Democrat States.

Will the FOXNews Team be covering this story in feigned outrage?
