The summer season in Seaside Heights, Ocean County, has begun with a surge of violence, prompting police to deploy SWAT teams and backup officers to maintain safety on the boardwalk. ---SNIP--- What they're saying: Locals attribute the chaos to large groups of teens and young adults.

"We call them gangs. I don’t know what they are, just groups of kids, some tougher than others, and we’ve seen them pushing and stuff," said Karen Singh, a visitor.

Wow, If I had a $5 million dollar home on Long Beach Island I’d be a tad upset.

Seriously? They need SWAT teams to handle gatherings of youth? When did that become a hostage situation? We live in a police state. The cops should be able to handle this without a SWAT team.

You are correct. I was refering to this line which was at end of article.

Law enforcement acknowledges that this issue has plagued shore communities from Wildwood to Ocean City to Seaside Heights in recent years, and they continue to seek effective solutions to ensure public safety

"Wildwood to Ocean City to Seaside Heights"

I can almost guarantee that Stone Harbor and Avalon are NOT having this problem, or it's diffused swiftly and quietly, much less have or need SWAT teams to deal with it. That's what money buys you.

It's just crowd control, not a hostage situation. They need to call in for back up from the state police of nearby municipalities.

Seaside is not south jersey, it is central


The weight of all those people flipped the state on its back, so Seaside is now in the south

Long Beach Island is nowhere near Seaside Heights, they’re over 30 miles apart.
