Din’t do nuf’fin.
Just guessing it’s already beyond control since initiatives to curb the violence have been getting publicity. One can’t help but wonder how long the escalating problem has been ignored because of political correctness and/or a desire to not scare away tourists.
We visited Waikiki beach.
Honolulu itself looked like a third world slum. But the moment you passed to Waikiki, instant change and there were Cops EVERYWHERE!
Literally on every corner, you have to keep your tourists safe, otherwise they will not comeback.
Let’s let in more Muslims. That way any non-Muslim inspired violence won’t look so bad./sarc
“Whatever it takes to make sure that this aberration does not take place again,”
if it was an abrrration why beef up security?
I used to love Myrtle Beach, even saw Vanna White having lunch with her parents in the same restaurant we were eating in once.
It has changed and not for the better.
Really?...Or is it the new normal?
Myrtle Beach was taken over by Progressives quite a few years ago. I moved there in 1976 and stayed until 1987. Although we frequently vacationed in the area, It was not until we moved back down in 2010 that I realized how badly the leadership of that community had messed it up for the average citizen. We moved to West Texas in 2013 and have been in Western Kentucky since 2015 with no desire to hit that beach again.
Sad. Used to vacation there with family when I was a kid in the late 60’s. Happy memories of stops at SOB (stopped there for old time’s sake with my own family a few years ago - looked like the place hadn’t been cleaned since I was young) and lighting Roman candles on the beach.
Last time I ever went near that street on the weekend. I'm good at knowing when my ass is about to be kicked.
You couldn’t drive the crowds away from Myrtle Beach if you set off a nuclear device.
I’ve lived in the MB area now for four years. And, like any other large city in the USA there are areas that I won’t venture to/thru after dark. There are also areas that are quite safe except for an alligator or two. I also keep extra mags in the car door pocket.
Wonder if it’s anything like Black Spring Break in Biloxi ... they did a pretty good job of warning and stamping out a lot of the violence fro past years.
Guess that Confederate Battle Flag wasn’t the panacea you claimed, eh ex-Governor nikki haley?
We always knew you were dumb as a box of rocks.
With Facebook real murder and mayhem has become Entertainment. Perhaps the Oscars could establish a new catergory or there could be a new award altogether, maybe called “Facies” with an artistically arranged brown pile on a golden base.
A young man and woman across the room were obviously distraught.
When I finished eating, I approached and asked what was wrong.
They said that they were returning from Myrtle Beach, that someone had stolen the man's wallet there, and that they didn't have the money to buy gas enough to get home.
I asked if $50 would get them there. They said it would.
I gave them $50.
They asked for my name and address so they could repay me.
I said: "I don't want you to know who I am or to repay me. Just remember: There are more of us than there are of them."
So much for Myrtle Beach.
The Carolinas have a large number of amazingly wonderful, family-oriented vacation beaches; Myrtle Beach is not one of them.
However, Myrtle Beach does serve the useful function of attracting the trash and keeping it concentrated in one place, leaving all of the other beaches trash-free.
Two weeks ago I took my 8 year old daughter to Wonderworks at Broad Way at the Beach, in Myrtle Beach. The first step we took onto the sidewalk from the parking lot we look down, she finds a penny on heads and I find a shell casing not even a foot away. It was at 1:00pm. We didn’t stay long.
