I am amazed at the interest this thread is receiving. It does affect all of us when one town is invaded against it's will and we are supposed to excuse it because: "They have as much right to be there as you do" or "It's a free country" or "It's a public road", etc.

It's about invasion, lewdness, flash-point riot conditions, guns, prostitutes, dope, and total trashing a town.

I've emailed the Mayor, City Council, and City Manager to alert them that the whole country is getting an eyefull of what Galveston is like during this invasion.

Its not just Galveston. AS I mention, there is a similar event here in Tallahassee every year. They do this in South Carolina, Savannah, GA, Daytona,Fl etc. Its the new thing thats catching on everywhere. They know they can get away with anything because all those who oppose are just braned "racists".

You and the others speak the truth. We hosted 2 families of friends who "escaped" from the island this past weekend. They've had it with the traffic jams, the open sexual displays in their very own yards and the threats they receive when they did at one time try to get out during this beach invasion weekend. Both families have younger children and are looking for homes on the mainland.

These people who invade Galveston annually for this weekend are obnoxious and just plain old nasty and they would be outraged if someone invaded the towns where they lived and left them in the condition they leave the city of Galveston.

Oh, and there's the traffic - delays of up to 4 hours for what should have been no more than a 40 minute drive. If this is about as big a boost for the economy as a hurricane.
