After invites to the “kickback” went viral on TikTok, a large crowd gathered on Alki Beach in Seattle on Saturday night — the “kickback” being a reference to “Adrian’s Kickback,” which caused chaos in Huntington Beach, California, the previous weekend.
After Adrian Lopez, 17, posted a video on the app inviting people to his birthday party, the “kickback” brought hundreds to Huntington Beach. Nearly 150 individuals were detained throughout the course of the two-day event in Huntington Beach.
On TikTok, the Seattle event was dubbed the “Washington Kickback” and the “Alki Beach Kickback,” among other titles.
A big gathering of individuals can be seen dancing and enjoying themselves together in videos shared on the website.
Seattle police claimed on Twitter that a substantial police presence was originally deployed. The beach was thereafter closed by Seattle Parks & Recreation.
According to NBC station KING, the throng gathered around 9 p.m., and police made two arrests after various conflicts erupted. It was stated that one individual was hurt.
