Investigations have been launched at two universities over accusations that fraternity members taunted wounded war heroes, urinated on an American flag, and spit on a wounded veteran and his service dog in Panama City Beach, Florida.
The April 17 incident, involving Zeta Beta Tau fraternity members from the University of Florida and Emory University, has infuriated residents of Panama City.
[Snip]
... the fraternity members were staying in the same resort [as 100 combat-wounded warriors and their spouses]– and caused a night of mayhem. The college kids made derogatory comments about the warriors’ wives, threw items off balconies and desecrated an American flag.
She also said one of the warriors and his service dog were spit on.

Call them. Tell all the young people you know not to go there.
What? They are mad because it was exposed? Been happening for more than a decade....
The few young people I know do not go there , My FRiend.
Shouldn’t we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn’t this an indictment of our educational institutions in general?
They are doing a lot. First of all A prominent attorney has formed a group called “A New Panama City Beach” and they have already gotten enough signatures to force a recall of local officials.
They arrested 3 times as many this Spring as ever before. Next year there will be no alcohol sold after 2 P.M. and none at all allowed on the beach.
The locals are furious and they are determined to change things even if it amounts to ending Spring Break completely.
Just from watching some videos it appears most of the trouble makers are Black. PC has traditionally not had a lot of them. Not sure why this year. I know the Sheriff says the problems are caused by the “100 milers” but I admit I don’t know what that means.
Good for them, then.
The VAST majority of troublemakers in Panama City are from out of state....just leaving tons of MONEY in that "dumb" state
The VAST majority of troublemakers in Panama City are from out of state....
Mebbe 3 or 4 out of every hundred are actually from Florida. Most of the rest are from the Midwest.
I'm not from Florida and it's eyewitness testimony.
Uh oh, now they’re on double secret probation.
No Matter what.
Then he College should fork over the money to pay for this trip the Organization that put it together.
If it were up to me the ones who spit on our Veterans and Vomited on the Flag should be taken out the Town Square and Publically Flogged.
I don’t know how it became acceptable for people to gather every spring, college student or not, just to get drunk and have an orgy. Another sign of the decay of our society, and what it wrong with these girls and their parents? Thanks to feminist propaganda, it is no longer expected that men respect and protect women. Now that girls are just like the guys, there are no rules any more.
I'm surprised this wasn't buried by the media and that any action was taken to suspend them. After all, the frat boys' disgusting antics didn't involve a "racist" chant, and as long as no "minorities" are offended, all is well according to the powers that be.
It is really smart of the Panama City Beach citizens to change things. Aim for well off Baby Boomer Retirees. There 70 million of us and many of us want to head south. ; )
The University of Florida closed a fraternity Tuesday amid allegations that its members hurled drunken insults and spat at a group of disabled veterans at a Panama City Beach resort...
Yeah — the frat wasn’t too happy about it - even though I suggested they REPAY for another trip...bastards...they will probably say this is enough compensation....
If it were up to me, then those who then spit on our Veterans and Flag should be identified and Expelled from the University with no Refund (or accredited hours if I could)
This bring so much Shame to them and the University it's Almost incompressible.
The Real World smacked these people in the face and taught them something I hope.
I can’t imagine. I would be so ashamed if my kid did something like that.
Well, it sounds like you raised great All-American Children yldstrk (Hugs)
No, just round up the perp punks and drop them off at the local VFW on a Saturday night. They’ll get an education that no university can provide.
