re: Liberal politics has ruined Spring Break.

For years, Orange Beach has run ads on Internet, radio, and television telling spring breakers if you want to party, don’t come here. Orange Beach wants families as in parents with their kids who were being supervised. They actually spend more money and are much less trouble than the college age spring breakers.

I'll give you that, but the cops have taken enforcement to ridiculous levels over the past 6 or7 years even to just spot checking houses that college kids rent for uneraged drinking and randomly putting the screws on kids .

Personally, I don't know why the kids even bother anymore.

Everyone has a gun now. Welcome to the result of 50 years of republican gun promotion.

Typing the same thing at the same time.

Then the communities who like the added revenue will privately complain that their revenue is down.....which, I personally would like to see in places like Escambia and surrounding counties.

You guys started this problem way back in the late 70s. People took you up on your marketing pitch and that part of Florida does nicely in March and early April. Now you still want the money and activity but you also found a way to obtain revenue enhancements. By harassing the students who bring in the money....forget about the flash mobs, etc they should be dealt with, they have to be. But the other stuff is gratuitous.

In fairness, it's not just spring break. It's everything.

Remember when we started hearing the mainstream talk more about street gangs in the 80s? Everyone was afraid they'd get robbed and maybe even stabbed by a gang member if they ventured into the wrong area.

"But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife, for forty-three dollars my friend lost his life."

These days, it's not even confined to street gangs or specific locales. It's cultural and has moved into every corner that used to be deemed "safe". And a switchblade is the least of your concerns when an urban youth will pull out a pistol and shoot you dead without hesitation just because he feels "disrespected" and doesn't even need a reason to feel that way.

It's about culture, not race. But looking at the culture, there is inargubly a certain race that gravitates toward it.
