“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.

Yeah, Chris Rock said there are malls and malls that used to be white malls. North Myrtle Beach is better. This is headline stuff but Myrtle Beach is fun for the kids. Miniature golf, the beach, the boardwalk at the beach. Hell, even the Rabbi from Seinfeld wanted to take Elaine there.

While you are being an unappointed moderator, and given the exalted status of your position in your mind, may I suggest researching proper usage of ‘you’ and ‘your’.

Myrtle Beach is the pits.

There are dozens of VERY nice, smaller, secluded beaches up and down the SC and NC coast that are WAY better for family vacations.

still, MB does serve a useful function: it serves as a shit magnet for the spring student riots and the various Amish skirmishes, thereby keeping the rest of the beaches free of trash.

Solution to the problem:
Stop pouring money in to the underclass, all they do is spend it on drugs. Stopping welfare would instantly stop the violence and drugs.

Has anyone ever seen an analysis of where the drug money comes from? Has anyone ever seen an analysis of where the welfare money goes? I wouldn’t be surprised if %80 of welfare money goes to drugs, and %80 of drug money comes from welfare.

I have friends who retired there. Hi rise on the beach, secured underground parking. 30 floors up, they enjoy the view but they may as well be in prison.

No go zones in America.

That's my favorite place for family vacations. Clean, quiet and peaceful. We go for the last week in May to take advantage of the off peak rates. The beach house goes from $7,000 per week to $14,000 per week. The only issue is the ocean is still a little cold for swimming. I rather swim in the heated pool myself. I hope Nags Head doesn't become another Myrtle Beach.

Won't spread to here in Panama City Beach.

We saw similar when we lived in PC. Part of the reason we no longer live in PC.

There have been efforts to tighten up the situation over the years, after shootings and sexual assaults. Alcohol has supposedly been banned from the beaches. From what I have heard from friends who have been back, the crowds have simply migrated over to Mexico Beach. It used to be nice and quiet over there. I guess not so much anymore.

Bay County is just pushing the problem around. It can't fix it because the county has allowed the culture to build over the years catering to the all mighty tourist dollar.

“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.”

If people know what I’m saying (as you just said), then it isn’t “double-talk” as you claimed. Come back when you can be logically consistent.

Yeah ok. Whatever.

My point still stands no matter how many tangents you guys try to go on.

But I suppose you aren’t very proud of that crap you posted yourself.

“Stopping welfare would instantly stop the violence and drugs.”

I’m not so sure about that. Much of the violence is related to drugs in some way - true. But if people suddenly have no welfare, that doesn’t mean the violence would stop. It might get worse because so many people would be even more dependent upon the drug trade for money or use MORE violence to get money to buy drugs or defend their own illegal drug trade from competitors.

Armed robberies would increase for instance - at least I would think so. And more victims would be outside of the ghetto as criminals would seek more wealthy targets.

There would be a “law and order” response that would be quite robust, however. There would be more vigilante activity too.

Gee, what a great retort.

“My point still stands no matter how many tangents you guys try to go on.”

You seem to have no point. You directly contradicted yourself. You’re point cannot stand if you’re contradicting yourself.

“But I suppose you aren’t very proud of that crap you posted yourself.”

I’ve never posted any crap. Between the two of us only you are proud of posting crap. And you keep doing it.

“998 cleaned your clock Dude. Go whine somewhere else!

Is that what you rubes think?

The OP makes a retarded point, gets called out, and from there a little group of idiots try to point out typos, and go off on completely unrelated stuff....and you conclude “cleaned your clock”?

Frankly I dont know what’s worse, the thugs that ruin vacation spots or the hayseeds that compete online to see if they can be just as retarded.

They both end up killing brain cells.
