"Everyone should be respected regardless of your skin color," said Douglas Bethea.

We all totally agree with you. But I fear it was the content of your character of you and your minions that was the problem.

Somebody left the screen door open and a troll came in.

Did you read his post??? I think he is saying that the hotel management probably let it slide more than they normally would have if it had been a non-minority group. Newbie doesn't necessarily mean troll.

Courtesy and consideration for others is not a racial issue.

It’s a cultural one.

Not if they ever want to have guests again. Not getting sleep when I am traveling is close to a killing offense. I would have called the cops about twelve times without looking out my room to see what color the cause of the noise was.

10-1 odds that the parents were worse than the kids.

Why hotels allow this and create such an unpleasant experience for
their adult guests is beyond me!”

WHY do the CHAPERONES allow this?

The fault lies with the chaperones not being able to control the kids. The kids take advantage of the sheer numbers of kids vs the number of chaperones, and they have often been ‘raised’ to think that they are all-important and all-powerful on their own. No consequences at home for bad behavior.

I have stayed at hotels for a number of different events & trade shows thru my 69 years, and adults know better.

Even more recently, I have been in horse camps where there are over 250 horses and the riders , crews & volunteers & ride management. Ride management will announce that generators cannot run after 10 pm, and if some group wants to stay up and talk around the campfire on the night before the main event, other campers will douse their noisy behavior. We just don’t tolerate it. Riders and crews need their sleep, and the horses need to rest, also.

Kids are away from home, and if there was video of their behavior, I can bet that any subsequent lawsuit would be thrown out of court.

based on the posting history, I don’t think this one is a troll.

civility on both sides.”

NOt often possible when blacks and others have been raised all their life to believe that whitey only wants to ‘put them down’ and not let them achieve anything.

All this group acheived was to upset other paying customers.

Next time, I suggest they find a smaller hotel and book the whole thing so that there will be no other customers to bother. With their past behavior record, they might have to pay a damage deposit in advance. If this hotel was part of a chain, I hope the other units in the chain were notified of the actions of this group.
They obviously won’t self-restrict their behavior, so others must do it for them—ragardless of their color or age.

I was to quick with the trigger finger. This thread was ripe for a DUmmy to post something on.

I’ve been on several trips as a chaperone and driver for drumline groups, and ours usually behave themselves well. If the chaperones establish and enforce the rules to require proper civilized behaviour, then even teenagers can manage to follow the rules.

Anyone who claims it is impossible is just a lazy chaperone.

This has evolved into a modern day witch hunt: a member of an eternal grievance group violates some law and then follows a simple two-step plan (1) cloak yourself victim-hood (2) blame whitey and shake him down for all you can get.

And they receive all the cooperation necessary to facilitate its success from the media, politicians, and more and more the courts.

The entitlement and victimology generation is in full bloom.

If hotels want to protect the other guests from this mess, they need to schedule extra security, at least 1 for each floor, for those nights and include it in the room charge for that group.
