“Multiple people down!” Bubba Hinson exclaimed as he live-streamed a video of what started as a mob stalling traffic, but turned into a mass shooting on Ocean Boulevard early Sunday morning.

Eight people were injured in three shootings that erupted this weekend around heavily trafficked tourist areas in Myrtle Beach. At least one of the shootings was caught on the camera of a visitor, who streamed it live on Facebook. The video went viral with over 1 million views by Sunday afternoon.

Some tourists say they won’t return to Myrtle Beach anytime soon.

Have to lock this down. MB already has a bad connotation for many people.

Mayor, say goodbye to, summer!

Brody: [to Mayor Vaughn, after the shark attack on July Fourth] Larry, the summer is over. You're the mayor of "shark city". These people think you want the beaches open.

The Ferals really need a separate beach. Somewhere on another continent. South of the Equator. Starts with the letter “A”.

Myrtle Beach was a tourist mecca not so long ago but the same can be said for a lot if places.

I wonder if the Libs will use this as an argument for gun control? I don’t think they will since he was not a terrorist, the perpetrator probably used a non-registered gun, and he’s probably a Democrat.

I guess they’ll soon be calling it Mortal(ity) Beach if it hasn’t been already.

No more golf mecca?

Won't spread to here in Panama City Beach. We have law enforcement and have been dealing with situations like that for a number of years. Plus, we have this watch-dog:

MB is a shithole.

South Carolina won’t honor my home state permit or my Utah non-res permit. MB and the entire state were scratched off my list a long time ago.

I’m sure the fine gentlemen in the weekend violence were following the asinine SC concealed carry laws. /sarc

This can be “fixed” with more “gun controls” at Myrtle Beach. /sarc

I taught a week-long training course in MB in 1978. It was a great place then. It’s such a shame to read about place after place going down the toilet in 40 years.
