three shootings, a stabbing,,, None of the victims’ injuries was life-threatening.

Much as I deplore the violence, the ineptitude of the attackers is likewise amazing.

LOL!

I thought this was just an excerpt but it's the entire story!

It was just one of those weird eruptions of violence that happen spontaneously.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

Thanks for the link. I thought it was something like that. Reminds me of ‘Greek Week’ of about 25 years ago when we had State Police in full riot gear guarding all the off-ramps on the old toll road.

They no doubt were into their third case of Red Dog or Milwaukee's Best.

yes - that is the irony of this article...god forbid if any background or information on who was doing the violence ever be reported....If this was done by a bunch of white frat boys it would be front page news....

Looks like it:
"Sessoms says he and the City want to welcome college students to the Oceanfront. He believes there was a small group that came in along with the college students that disrupted the entire event."

This type event also happens in Galveston Texas and it's the last place on earth you want to be.

Businesses board up!

That's exactly what it was. pisses the hell out of me that the city allows this year after year. These thugs come to town, trash the beach, shoot each other and then go home leaving us to clean up their mess and deal with the bad publicity.
