Freaknik 2010 may be off to a sluggish start, but authorities in every metro Atlanta county are preparing for the worst.They've gathered at Atlanta Public Safety Headquarters downtown to "speak with one voice" regarding Freaknik, said Atlanta Police spokesman James Polite Friday afternoon. "Anyone you can name, they're in there," he said of the joint operations center set up to deal with the black college spring break festival. That includes fire and medical units from counties including Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb and Clayton and the local universities, Polite said.
"Every commander in place now is a veteran of the prior [Freakniks]," he said, vowing there won't be a repeat of the traffic jams that accompanied the mid-199s festivals. "We may have more highways and by-ways now, but we also have much better technology," he said. "Basically we believe the mayor's message has gotten through."

Uh ... it’s not “the college spring break crowd cruising around in their cars. “
Mississippi is having “black spring break” this weekend... and there has been trouble... and the local police try to play it down.

Freaknik = young blacks gathering and acting like thugs and hip-hop gangsters...
It’s not just “cruising around in their cars.”
Freaknik participants have involved themselves in racial attacks and intimidation, robbery, theft, rape, violence and property damage in the past.
I read in the paper a few years back that they robbed and vandalized the hotels, resturants and stores in Galveston, TX to such an extent every year that finally one year everything closed down when they arrived for their Spring break race celebration. They have not been back to Galveston since.
Freakniks had nothing to eat or drink; nowhere to sleep and no one to rob. The whole “racist” city rolled up the sidewalks because Mayor was unable to stop the annual rite of crime and racism.
