“Multiple people down!” Bubba Hinson exclaimed as he live-streamed a video of what started as a mob stalling traffic, but turned into a mass shooting on Ocean Boulevard early Sunday morning.

Eight people were injured in three shootings that erupted this weekend around heavily trafficked tourist areas in Myrtle Beach. At least one of the shootings was caught on the camera of a visitor, who streamed it live on Facebook. The video went viral with over 1 million views by Sunday afternoon.

Some tourists say they won’t return to Myrtle Beach anytime soon.

MB started dying a couple of decades ago.

I was never impressed with the place.

It’s been several years since I was last there and zero desire to go back.

Myrtle Beach, the ‘Redneck Riviera’ is gone...it’s a feral party town now, I’d take the short drive to go there for a day trip but would leave before sundown...

Took my grandson there twelve years ago for a vacation during 4th of July. Had an absolutely great time. Lots of beach activities on the 4th and fantastic flying exhibitions by the Air Force. Don’t recall seeing any hood rats other than those working in restaurants and we always felt quite safe.

The Carolinas have such great history to share with grandchildren. Glad we went when we did because I certainly wouldn’t go back now.

Everybody I know raves about Myrtle Beach so we went for a week. It was too much like NJ(crowds, attitudes, drivers, etc.), which I wanted to get away from. No thanks, not my thing.

Beaches do nothing for me.

I spent a couple days on the Jersey Shore last week for work and barely looked at the ocean. My hotel was beachfront and I went down for a short walk but got bored.

We moved to Maryland a few years ago. Everyone makes their annual pilgrimage to Ocean City, a town 12 miles long and 4 blocks wide. I drove through once and that was enough.

Love the Outer Banks!
Sometimes you have literally miles of the most wonderful beach in the world all to yourself.

Which is why we go to Nags Head


We do outer-banks, too. We like the ocean, some of the best in the world... but it does happen to also have fewer people and many fewer angry people.

Can we stop with the double-talk here.

Some of you think blacks should be banned from beaches (or whatever) because any one of them will like have a gun and kill people, and the only way people are going to be safe is if they are all forbidden from these places.

Is this the gist of it?

Jesus Christ, if you all want to push an absurd viewpoint, then just SAY IT. It isnt like people don’t know what you guys are saying.

This can be “fixed” with more “gun controls” at Myrtle Beach. /sarc


I think you got it! After all, look at what a BLAZING SUCCESS gun control has been for Chicago and Detroit!

They already call it Murder Beach and Dirty Myrtle. North Myrtle Beach is very white, I mean nice. It’s very nice.

Last time I was there, I spent three days sitting on the pier. An old gentlemen was pretending to fish while I bought the beer.

I live here.

The best times for the Myrtle ocean front - which is where we’re talking about here - were back when it was a place that shut down during the cooler months.

Now that the tourist areas are open all year, it’s gone downhill.

Once again, this is the ocean front we’re talking about. In the suburban areas a couple of miles inland, it’s fine. Better than average, as a matter of fact.

But Memorial Day Black Biker Weekend has shown the gangs some places to hang out and whoop it up. So we have big-fat-bootied twerkin’ going on and shooting and robbing happening in a couple of places, with spotty police coverage.

The big nasty area is Atlantic Beach, which is a section of North Myrtle Beach. North Myrtle is not officially Myrtle Beach, but it’s still the same place really, and Atlantic Beach is like Black Biker Weekend all year long now.

I work near the Charleston area now, and there’s a shooting practically every night in North Charleston. I’ll give you three guesses on the ethnicity involved (first two guesses don’t count sorry). Talk about “little Chicago”...

And yes, it’s the same area where they had the cop who shot the unarmed guy jumping out of his car and trying to run away (the Slager case).
