Florida spring break partiers see Miami mayhem while Fort Lauderdale avoids chaos

Florida spring break partiers see Miami mayhem while Fort Lauderdale avoids chaos
At least 322 arrests in Miami Beach between Feb. 27-March 19, 70 guns seized, 2 people killed — stark contrast to relative calm in Fort Lauderdale
Spring break parties shut down Miami Beach with mayhem and violence, but the good times rolled on about an hour up the coast in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Bikini-clad co-eds, who flocked to coastal vacation hotspots in the Sunshine State, spent hours on sunny beaches, soaked in the nightlife and enjoyed a week-long break from their studies.

Fort Lauderdale police told Fox News Digital in an emailed statement, "There were no major incidents related to the 2023 Spring Break season," minus two "notable" arrests for a random assault on a disabled man and a fight with a security staff member at a bar.

It was a stark contrast to the chaos in Miami Beach, where two people died, a third was wounded and several were injured in stampedes after gunshots rang out twice over the weekend, and unruly crowds were seen going wild and jumping on occupied cars, prompting a citywide state of emergency.
