Trash left on Tybee beach sparks ire in wake of Orange Crush

When Tony Abruzzio and his fiancee were taking their morning walk on the beach Sunday, he saw something he called appalling.

“Bottles, broken-up ice coolers, towels — you name it, all over the place,” Abruzzio said. “... It was really unnecessary and unneeded.”

In the video, Abruzzio shows a section of the island’s south beach pocked with cups, bottles, other trash and clothing as volunteers clean. “This is why Orange Crush has got such a bad reputation on Tybee,” he says in the video.

We’re they flinging feces?

Attention grammer police!

Were they flinging feces?

Fixed it.

I just looked at the Wiki of Tybee Island and it mentions nothing about Orange Crush, but only the Beach Bum parade which happens in May.

I was going to comment about Kappa weekend at Surfside...and Holder's people. The trash and violence is why Galveston kicked them out and why they ended up at Surfside.

Seems thuggery abounds...and yet NOBODY wants to say anything about it. They loot the stores near the beach...but in an orderly sort of way. They just all walk in and shop-lift: Overwhelming the shop clerks. This is why most stores in their path close up.

If I were black...I would be SCREAMING to any news organization who would listen about these people. About 1) How they don't represent me and mine and 2) How THEY need to stop being a bunch of THUGS and embarrassing all of us.

But that's just me. That's the way I was raised. There is guilt...and guilt by association when you sit by and say nothing.

Then you would be immediately labelled as an "Uncle Tom" or an "Oreo."

"The bottom line is it's really about accountability and respect for our natural surroundings," Abruzzio said. "I clean up after myself everywhere I go."

I clean up after myself for cultural reasons, not for Mother Earth.

“Just posting this for national awareness!! “

Well aware of this. I think Orange Crush use to be Freaknik in Atlanta. Atlanta finally booted out the entitled pigs.

yeppers...it’s the same worldwide...primitive dysfunction

but don’t try to tell the noble here there is any difference

i’m surprised they haven’t brought up the messes Bonnaroo, Coachella and Burning Man make in comparison

not to mention Glastonbury or Isle of Wight

see see see...spoiled white kids on dope are worser(sic)

Something else I noticed is that there is not a Wiki entry for this event.

Probably won't find one. It is a non-sponsored event (they can't find one) and it is at a different place on the beach every year. Kind of like a flash mob. This makes it very hard for the locals to combat.

If you have a strong stomach search youtube.

Kind of like waiting to hear from the elusive “moderate Muslims?”

“This makes it very hard for the locals to combat.”

###

Our crippled and cowardly, disgustingly politically-correct society would make it imposible for them to combat “events” like this anyway.

The highly apt “No, we are NOT going to allow you on the beach because you are uncivilized, destructive black savages”, sadly, just isn’t going to work.

I wonder what John Derbyshire’s advice would be regarding whether one should consider attending this soiree?

I knew nothing about Orange Crush at Tybee Island, but after viewing the video of the trashed beach I had my suspicions as to the ethnic make-up of the partiers.

Rather than ethnicity, perhaps it is all about being a liberal Democrat. They all seem to be misbehaving slobs who want everybody but themselves to be responsible for the consequences of their behavior.
