Miami Beach Officials Declare Temporary State of Emergency, Implement Strict Citywide Curfew in Attempt to Curb Out-of-Control Spring-Break Violence

Officials in Miami Beach, Florida, made waves this week by declaring a temporary state of emergency and implementing a strict citywide curfew in attempt to curb out-of-control spring break violence.
During a press conference Tuesday, Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber condemned the rash of senseless violence that erupted in South Beach’s entertainment district over the weekend.
“If you want to see what a very frustrated and angry mayor looks like, you’re looking at him,” Gelber said. “Our city is well past its endpoint. We can’t endure this any more.”
