Hordes of unruly black teens shut down Cleveland Heights Street Fair CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH (WOIO) - Store owners are upset after a Cleveland Heights a street fest got out of control. It happened around 7 PM Sunday night in the artsy Coventry Road and Euclid Heights Boulevard area. "You could see 2-to-300 kids running down the street at you ," said store owner Danielle Ruppert. Nearly 25,000 people attended the one day fair. It went from noon to six. Steve Presser, owner of Big Fun and one of the organizers, says the problem started when cops went to clear the streets. "They don't understand when it ends it ends," said Steve Presser. The kids were on the street they just didn't want to leave the street, then some of those same kids got into it with police. There were both arrests and fights. The teens, who other kids said were from "all over the place -- Cleveland, Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights -- were starting fights, screaming and throwing punches in the crowded streets, according to witnesses and shop owners. Sarah Corcoran, 21, of Cleveland Heights, said she saw about 75 people run through the street, some yelling, just before the fair was scheduled to end at 6 p.m. Police showed up shortly after to clear the streets. "It was a big commotion," said Shalai Melton, 15, of Garfield Heights. But, cops were ready. They were following the unruly crowd on twitter and that unruly crowd may change a tradition that folks like Steve have been trying to preserve. "We are going to have to make some though decisions because we have to decide if we are going to have another street fair what it's going to be are we going to charge admission," said Steve Presser. Reactions to news coverage of the unrest has been mixed, with some eyewitnesses saying that the incidents were limited to a handful of teens over a short period of time, with others claiming it was a frightening scene. The Storify collection of responses below reflects mostly the latter. http://www.woio.com/Global/story.asp?S=14986134 http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2011/06/hordes_of_unruly_teens_shut_do.html Tags: African, American, Arts, Blacks, Cleveland, Coventry, Fair, Fest, Heights, Hordes, Street, black, down, of, shut, teens, unruly 1 Downloads - Last from: (Your Blog here!) |
