Twitter/local news says a huge fight/riot at the park and a fight/shots fired at McDonalds.

Just heard the same. Kennywood isn't even safe anymore. Ugh.

Those darn "teens" are up to it again.

Jeeze I quit working there and it all goes to ****. Wouldn't surprise me if the actual events happened at the McDonalds next door.

Postby **dodint** » Sat May 02, 2015 9:44 pm

Yeah, but when you say it happened at Kennywood the pageviews skyrocket.

Postby **skullman80** » Sat May 02, 2015 9:46 pm

It sounds like stuff went down inside Kennywood as well. That being said...have to wait till we get some actual news I guess to confirm. That McDonalds there though near the pack is kind of crummy/not safe.

Looks like it started in Kiddie Land then went to the Mcdonalds after they were kicked out.

Im sure 10pm news will be all over it.

It really is so sad....starting a riot in Kiddie Land, seriously? Kennywood reported it was due to "disruptive teens", which we all know what that means.

It's hard to not be completely fed up with this crap. I know I am asking the obvious question, but where in the hell are these kids' parents? Just disgusting.

Evidently shots were fired too #streetcred #thuglife

Did MrKtK order the parks security to "stand down" and make room for the teens to vent their frustrations?

Yeah that's how it usually happened. People/groups would be escorted off property, congregate at the McD's, then stuff would go down. Didn't have shots fired before though.

The Rankin/Homestead/Mckeesport/Braddock area is no paradise so this doesnt surprise me. I will say thought....stupidity doesnt have a color these days.

I honestly think I've seen cops at that McDonalds every time I've left Kennywood.

Although some seem to get a real hard on when the color is a certain hue.

Allegheny 911 confirms McD's up towards the old kmart

Yikes. These kind of stories legitimately sicken me, regardless of who is involved. That being said, if you are standing by your statement, then those people would probably need to call a doctor because it seems to be the case 49 times out of 50.

Its just sad....

Postby **NailedPenguin** » Sat May 02, 2015 10:14 pm

I'd just like to state for the record as I feel like I was implicated in that comment due to recent discussions in the current events thread, that my "on" certainly does not need any help, especially by way of violent news stories.

#UPDATE: Kennywood forced to close early on opening day of the season b\c of disturbances involving mostly teens. Large police presence.

So sounds like it was less of an issue than first reported. No shots fired, no riots etc.

Postby **FreeCandy44** » Sat May 02, 2015 10:20 pm

Yeah...just stupid kids being well...stupid.
