Myrtle Beach use to be the family place to go, didn't realize it had hi-reizes right up to the beach sounds like a Ocean City cloan.

I live near the beach. North Wildwood, NJ. It's freink packed! There are people partying on my block. In the winter there are maybe 20 people on my block. In the summer and on major summer holidays it booms to 5,000.

I've always wondered the carnage if some nut took a high powered gun on the beach. There is zero police presence and look at the people. They are so helpless.

We need cops on the beach!! :(

This incident isn't even in the news.

I wonder why...

Maybe it's because the victims are black? Seriously, I don't see it mentioned anywhere.

Yep, just like I predicted. The people running from the scene were black.

Sad... :(

What are you trying to imply as the "why" this isn't being widely reported?

Why isn't thins being reported? What's the answer?

It seems like a big event, yet I can't find anything about it.

The reason it wasn't being reported is because it's a black on black incident.

The redneck riviera. There are a ton of better places to go to the beach in the Carolinas than mb.

Yeah and the one at MB is looking like run-of-the-mill street/drug crime. Not nearly as 'sexy' as the rich Hollywood kid going nuts. His shooting even involves the subject of sex.

Perfect! My wife and I got a few extra nights at a hotel for agreeing to attend a time-share for that properties that the hotel chain owns. We'll be heading to MB in August. I'll try to remember the shooting as a point to make why I wouldn't want a time share down there. Too dangerous!

Actually, I'm not a fan of crowded beaches... at all. If I can't take my camera to the beach, leave it on the beach blanket when I'm out swimming, and know with 100% certainty that it'll be there when I return... I don't want to go to that beach.

Go to either North or South Myrtle Beach, neither are as crowded as downtown.

This isn't being reported on because it happens every day across the country. Black on black drug\gang crime. There's no solution to it and it only threatens a small segment of the population so there's no point in putting it on the news.

That's not why the news doesn't report on it.

Sorry, I forgot the mention that the people threatened\impacted by that sort of news don't watch the news. They're too busy reading the Wall Street Journal, as evidenced by the WSJs comprehensive coverage of the event in question.
