“Which bike week are you referring to? the harley one or the one where 1/2 of the beach stores close to prevent them from being cleaned out by BLM?”
Those are definitely two different things. With one, the businesses make a lot of money and suffer few losses. With the other, businesses lose money by either closing altogether or suffering theft and property damage. With one, traffic accidents, DUIs, shoootngs, and fights are few and far between; with the other they increase dramatically and the LEOs have to work double-shifts and overtime.
otoh, BBW is racing, hotels getting trashed, shootings, drugs, prostitutes, and maga shoplifting. all met with " y'all a bunch of racists, yall dont shut everything down for the white peoples" " the ACLU is suing myrtle businesses for closing during black bike week". claiming racism after store owners and hotels each lose 1000's in theft and damages.
