Stay away from Miami Beach on Memorial Day until the city learns to dissuade the thugs from showing up--much like Fort Lauderdale learned to make things uncomfortable for the hordes of punks that descended during spring break.

One of our fifth grade thugs (from Detroit) told his teacher that he was flying with his mother and brothers and sisters to Miami this weekend. We thought it was sort of odd. Now it makes sense.

Looks like Miami will be getting a lot of visiting EBT cards.

Like a great flood of pestilence, the riff-raff hip hop (c) rap culture will infest SoFlo this weekend. We always warned friends and family who planned to travel South into Dade on this weekend. It's a flipping mess and the past 3 years it's gotten, if possible, even worse.

Glad it's a few thousand miles away now. (C)rap music is a diseased condition more than a music genre. This festival is representative of a culture worthy only of a petri dish. One that embraces the darkest, most dismal aspects of urban society (if it can be labeled as such.)

For those inclined to think "racist", it's no such thing, look at my select musical interests on my page. It's everything to do with a self destructive cultural trend that will eventually lead to the self destruction of anyone who embraces it.

It's representative of the worst of our American society. It doesn't need to be celebrated, it needs to be rehabilitated.

There’s going to be a lot of Justice for Trayvon. Best not be seen being white around those parts.

You get more than three of them together there is going to be a fight. Now multiply that by 100k.

The overtime expenditure on the police department is going to be huge, and I imagine public works is going to be throwing in some overtime as well.

I feel for you SoFlo.

Are bookies taking bets on the number of shootings, stabbings, rapes, that will take place there?

The bulk of the article was devoted to outlining the restrictions on citizens the police are imposing for the weekend.

You must show proof of residency to access public streets.

How is everyone okay with this?

I don’t care what your crime problem is — you don’t get to adopt sweeping ad hoc laws (with no legislative authority) that apply to all citizens who aren’t committing crimes.

This is fascism in an American city. There’s no other word for it.

I was in Miami for the first time last weekend. My concierge told me that I am lucky that I was there last weekend and not this.

I just thought that he meant that it would be crowded from beach goers, not that it was an Urban Feral Extravaganza.
