…” We will continue from this point on, til’ next year, to try and come up with a way to solve the problems that we have. Because you’re right, I see it wasn’t safe, we were held hostage”.
The reason we have continued to follow the story as it unfolds is because the event and consequences show a great example of how paralyzed a community can become when it allows fear to drive political correctness.
In addition, how the local government is responding is a case study in cultural fear and fear of the racist labeling. In this specific case Myrtle Beach is also afraid of the NAACP because they have a previous history of being sued by them.
The local city government is willing to pay vast sums of taxpayer money just to avoid confronting the root of the weekend violence. The violence is ironically created by, and enhanced by, their own avoidance policies. Subsequently the entire community is subjected to violence because they are caught in a catch-22 of political correctness.
To that end during a North Myrtle Beach City Council Meeting held 5/27/14 the local city council came prepared to fight the reality of the citizens angst with a litany of PC statistics to support their position.
The city council quickly coordinated their defense within hours of the Memorial Day holiday ending. Literally within hours. At 2pm the day after Memorial Day the local government was ready to defend themselves with charts and statistics, as if they already knew what to expect and were preparing in advance for the ire of the victims. Hmmmm? (more…)
Just as the national media is censoring the violence at Black Bike Week in Myrtle Beach, so too they are censoring violence at Black Beach Weekend in Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
The event is officially called “Urban Beach Week,” and unofficially referred to as “Black Beach Week”. The Facebook page is HERE and the website for Urban Beach Week is HERE.
As you may have noted in a few disingenuous media articles – Miami was prepared for the event. Consequently it seems some of the annual chaos shifted North to Fort Lauderdale.
Miami police arrested 225 people in connection with the 2014 event. The drop in arrests in/around Miami was offset by the increase in arrests in Fort Lauderdale. (more…)
We’ll continue to look for specific information from the meeting. In the interim here’s a brief video to show you the level of resident interest:

Myrtle Beach ain’t got nothing on Miami Beach and Clearwater Beach, except for the lack of massive law enforcement. Apparently there’s a commonality….
FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – Fort Lauderdale police believe hundreds of young people made their way to the beach for one reason this Memorial Day, to cause trouble.
Police described a volatile scene Monday night as they had to arrest dozens of people that were part of unruly crowds. Two separate incidents late Monday afternoon kept officers busy. One scene was near the area of 31st Avenue and West Broward Boulevard.
The other was near the beach close to A1A. Police said around 5 o’clock in the afternoon, hundreds of young people made their way to the beach for one reason this Memorial Day, to cause trouble.
Fort Lauderdale Police were in riot gear as a large crowd of young people moved through A1A reportedly causing mayhem. (more…)
There is so much PC-ism (literally hundreds of examples) within the Atlantic Beach / Myrtle Beach -Bike Fest Weekend story- it’s almost too much to absorb.
In response to five shootings, three deaths, and a total of ten people shot during Black Bike Week – The city of Myrtle Beach/Atlantic Beach is at odds within itself.
The majority of business and residents want the event cancelled – But Myrtle Beach is stuck betwixt Atlantic Beach, the NAACP, and a hard place. The entire issue, support vs. non-support for Black Bike Week, aka now “Bike Week”, falls along racial lines.
However, Myrtle Beach Residents are tightrope walking around their egg shell thin PC-ism’s saying it’s not about race…. While simultaneously the Town of Atlantic Beach residents are actively wielding the race-card. (more…)
HatTip GWP – Once is an event. Twice is a similar event. Three times is a pattern.
SOUTH CAROLINA – […] “I don’t know if there’s anything I could say that could satisfy our residents and the business community in our city right now,” said Myrtle Beach Mayor John Rhodes.
WMBF News spoke with the Mayor on Monday to see if the city has plans to make changes to Memorial Day Weekend security in the future to prevent crime. The short answer is yes.
“I’m fed up with it; I’m mad as hell about it,” added Rhodes. “Something has to be done and whatever we have to do to correct this thing, that’s the direction we’re going in.”
This triple homicide is one of five shootings in Myrtle Beach in less than 48 hours. Rhodes said this crime trend does not reflect the true Myrtle Beach. (more…)
Eight people shot by Elliot Rogers 24/7 media coverage. Yet same Day Eight people shot in Myrtle Beach rampage. Media? ((crickets)) Why?

….or so goes the Politically Correct CNN headline. Considering there were only two homocides in 2013 one would think this headline would lead to questions. Eight people shot in Myrtle beach – during one shooting spree and three of them dead?
Alas, a little further research and you discover this specific shooting spree has an element the PC media just cannot discuss. It’s Black Bike Week. From their website:
Now it’s it’s time for Black Bike Week 2014 The Revolution! Black Bike Week’s Back!! and Black Bike Week Back is GROWING!! No Helment law, No Noise Ordinance, No haters, AND MORE PEOPLE
Over 500,000+ People will be hitting the Myrtle Beach Area for 4 days of non stop riding, partying, and fun! “if you can stay long you def should!!!
Note how in the CNN article they make no mention of the event, and note how even in the Carolina article (below) they obfuscate the event removing the self-identified, and self-promoted, racial aspect of the event in favor of a disingenuous “Bike Week” label. Political Correctness running amuck. (more…)
“My watch wasn’t taken. My phone, which was in my hand, wasn’t taken,” he said. “There was no attempt for my pockets that I could see.”
Despite the brutally obvious pattern the police say it was an attempted robbery. Yet nothing was taken from the victim, and nothing was even attempted to be taken from the victim. A 16-year-old black attacker, a random white male victim not paying attention to the inherent risk approaching him. Stop me when you’ve heard this before…..
(Via Daily Caller) A New York City man who said he was randomly attacked by three teenagers says he thinks he was a victim of the ‘Knockout game’ even though police are calling the attack an attempted robbery.
Sal Avila required surgery for a broken nose he sustained during the vicious attack, which occurred near the campus of New York University last Sunday, Channel 4-New York reports.
Avila told the news station he was leaving a friend’s house and looking at his cell phone as three teenagers passed by. Then he was punched.
“Just as they were about to walk past me, one of them moves very suddenly and I feel a very hard impact to my face, as if I got hit by a brick or something,” Avila told Channel 4-New York. (more…)
