Screen on the Green=Fail

So anyone that knows me, knows that I like to be outside... I just like fresh air and sunshine and what not. So it's only natural that I enjoy parks. So every summer, Atl has Screen on the Green in which they show a movie outside. Last year it was moved to Centennial park because of the drought in Piedmont Park, but finally it was back to Piedmont this year and boy was I excited... So my friends and I even planned on going to see the movie this Thursday and things just kinda fell through...In fact last summer I think I went to almost every movie.. So of course it is weird when I wake up and check my twitter timeline to read about the "debauchery" that occurred last night...

Some of the lines from the article I read was just crazy...no where did they mention the teens were black, but they might as well have. They also mention that there was over 10,000 people at Screen on the Green... 10,000? I know it is usually a lot, but dang.... So here is the full link to the article...and below are the lines that I thought were hilarious, random, or just plain sad.

One movie-goer said free chicken sandwiches may had contributed to the brawl.

"It was an absolute mob scene, from the Chick-fil-A girls getting mobbed trying to hand out free sandwiches to the complete lack of respect for the people watching the movie," said Marc Freund.

"After enduring the first 30 minutes of the movie with people walking around and screaming, we decided to leave," Freund told the AJC. 

Midtown resident Jeff Keesee said there were "gangs of kids roaming the aisles, doing stunts to get crowd reactions. People just standing around talking, yelling -- disrespect, rudeness, unruliness -- a total disaster."

Sweatland wrote that as his group headed to their cars, he saw a group of "high school-aged kids" throwing rocks at passing vehicles. One of the rocks "completely shattered the back window" of one of the cars, he said.

Josh Hice, 26, of Newnan, was driving by Piedmont Park Thursday night with a friend when he said he was attacked by a group of high school-age people.

"There was a car stopped in front of me and a car stopped behind me, and there was this crowd of about 30 high school kids parading down the street," said Hice, who was driving an open-top Jeep.

First, a girl came up and spat in his face, Hice said, then he was punched in the face by another teen.

"It split my lip, then they start climbing all over my Jeep, and I turn around and my buddy is getting punched in the face and has blood pouring out of his nose," Hice said. "It was ridiculous. We were definitely victims of a hate crime."

Traffic ahead of Hice finally moved "and I just peeled out of there. I peeled out even with one of the dudes still hanging on the back of the Jeep, and he just jumped off."

Until Next Time...
