'Absolute Mayhem': Non-Residents in SoCal Brawl, Riot, Loot, Destroy Grocery Store and Bars

Absolute chaos erupted in Newport Beach, California, on Saturday night as non-residents visiting the peninsula brawled, rioted, looted, and destroyed a grocery store on the 4th of July. Newport Beach Police were forced to close beaches and bars due to the mayhem. Mounted police broke up a massive brawl on the beach just north of the Newport pier. More than 100 people were arrested. Additional footage shows a Pavillions grocery store completely destroyed after the rioters looted the place. The out-of-towners ignored a directive by Newport Beach Police and launched mortars on the beach. The California Post reported: Fourth of July descended into mayhem across Southern California as unruly crowds overwhelmed packed-out fireworks displays, looted stores, ignited fires and saw cops charge on horseback. The worst unrest erupted in Newport Beach, where Independence Day revelers poured into Orange County, choking traffic and triggering a police response as disorder spread near the pier. Authorities ultimately shut down businesses from the Newport Pier to Pacific Coast Highway as officers moved in to restore order. Officers were swarmed by hundreds of people who hurled bottles and other debris at them before the crowd turned on one another and began fighting. Mounted officers rode horses into them to clear the area so additional arrests could be made. Video from the scene also appeared to show the aftermath of the reported looting of a Pavilions grocery store in Newport Beach, with merchandise strewn across the parking lot while groups of people lingered outside the business, laughing and joking. #breaking #news #breakingnews Learn More: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026...
