Coastal Florida towns are playing hot potato with spring breakers who use social media to organize “takeovers” of gatherings by drunken flash mobs, leading to violence and mass arrests.
Cops locked down Daytona Beach this week after a string of shootings and a beach “takeover” that ended in a mass stampede of high-school and college students fleeing for their lives.
That single “takeover” resulted in 133 arrests and prompted authorities to turn the entire beach into a party quarantine zone, with doubled fines for citations and strict limits on gathering sizes, according to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office.
Daytona had realized its mistake too late — it welcomed the huddled, thirsty masses that had already been turned away by other local beach towns.
“It’s really these communities that start welcoming spring breakers that have things get out of control,” explained Tommy Ford, sheriff of Bay County, which includes the onetime party mecca of Panama City Beach.
Such towns in the Florida panhandle used to be ground-zero for beach keg stands and wet T-shirt contests — until years of violence, underage drinking and sexual assaults finally pushed them to employ beach alcohol bans, strict curfews and legions of law enforcement officers to keep things family-friendly.
But even with crackdowns, revelers still try to push the limit — including in Panama City Beach on Saturday night at an out-of-control popular beach bar.

Bring back segregation and Jim Crow. The problem has been the content of their character all along.

They need to move past the Trewk and learn a new dance that I can get behind...or at least do ;)

Fl Spring Break Partying died out for the NON AMISH
with Covid .
Yes. The pictures accompanying this article make it abundantly clear where the problem lies.
Ghetto trash are killing our society.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
Bring back hickory shampoo and work farms for offenders. About a year hoeing crops and digging ditches will teach lessons, yo.
I remember very well the 1st time I EVER saw one of these “youths” at Myrtle beach. She had her boom box wide open and was dancing on the beach. Stood out like speck of rat dookey in a bag of rice. Myrtle Beach has gone downhill since them days.
Them...Avoid them.
College & high school students of all colors.
Something tells me they’re not actually breaking from anything.
A mob is made up of individuals. But cite the demographic percentages of the trouble areas, please.
We can’t fix the problem if we refuse to acknowledge it, “’cause dat be raciss.”
I am 100% over worrying about being accused of racism. Facts are facts. Call it out wherever you find it.
Yep.
Fatigue
I am also immune to calls of racism. I’ve decided that I can wear any label the left wants to stick onto me. Once the chips go down, I might even show them how right they were. ;-D
The pendulum keeps swinging to the extreme and it hasn’t come back.
What’s your count, Furry?
In the whole Drunken War Zone story picture spread, I count 5 out of about 40+ Spring Breakers who are less melanated.
What’s your count, Furry?
And what ARE the odds of that happening?
College attendance is just a reason for “SPRING BREAK.”
Grok helps with the math:
In a random group of college kids, what are the odds that you could observe only 10% white kids?
Grok:
“In a truly random group of U.S. college students (sampled proportionally from national enrollment), the odds of observing only 10% White students are extremely low—practically near zero for any reasonably sized group (e.g., 50+ students).”
“You would need systematic bias (non-random selection) to see 10% White.”
So is the press photographer Raciss?
not only the left!! People on this very site will say you are racist for pointing out the truth. Eff them, too.
