PCB Spring Break Shooting

[carson]

You paint this picture of some impending negrocalypse, for want of a better word. Maybe you should check your attic and between the walls. You could have blacks and not even know it.

Just as a precaution I checked mine this morning, no blacks, but I did find 23 cents, a double A battery, a pizza crust and a Filipino.

I was there in the 70's. The Ramada Inn in Ft. Walton was the hotspot! Then over to Destin to hang out at Nightown for the evenings! No guns, not a lot of alcohol. Just cocaine, weed and qualludes. We were very peaceful!

I am also thankful that I did not do anything, nor consume many..I mean anything, illegal in college. Spring Break hasn't changed too much in 100 years, the shootings however could have been any weekend in PC.

Remember the PC school board shooting? Now that was trippy.

As I've said before, going to Tulane in NOLA was like spring break every weekend. The drinking age was 18, Tulane essentially legalized marijuana on campus (by not allowing NOLA cops on campus and telling the Greenie cops to ignore drug use), and a short drive after class to the beach at Pass Christian, MS, anytime we wanted to go. So for spring break, hubby (then boyfriend) and I drove to Atlanta to go to the Easter egg hunt at the country club with my younger brother and sister, to church on Easter with my family, and basically just relax at Mom's house after all of the studying.

My name isn't "Pops" and if you re read the thread you will find I never ask you a question. I will now, is your answer just a guess or is this from experience?

Pappy, my post; just for you, was pure PCB experience 2015. I work in tourism.

Just accept it. Its bad. No ones asking you to do anything about it, just accept that its bad.

You'll get a taste of Spring Break once Seascape opens it circus over near 98.

Won't be anything like PCB, but it will be Baytowne +.

Well Jeff I'm sure in your frightened state of mind any change is an apocalypse.

One problem on Thomas Drive is the overbuilding which started some time around 2004. People paid through the nose for houses all along Thomas Drive hoping to make a killing, and at least hoping for an easy rental market. The owner of 5312 paid $579,000 in 2005. Now the market value is in the 200s. People are willing to rent to anyone in a desperate attempt to recoup their losses.

Here's the words of one of OUR deputies that was on site that night!

Thank you for telling it like it is. Maybe our 5 BCC members will get something out of your first hand account.

Thank You for your service and for helping Bay County / PCB!

It was a busy weekend for law enforcement in Bay County. The shooting on Saturday that wounded seven only added to an already hectic time. It got to a point that law enforcement in Bay County requested the assistance of other agencies around the Panhandle, including the Walton County Sheriff's Office.

Deputy Craig Sherrouse has spent three years with Walton County Sheriff's office and nearly six years wearing a badge.

"I've never ever seen anything like it," said Deputy Sherrouse. "People everywhere."

He volunteered to assist Bay County and Panama City Beach on Saturday night.

"I knew they were going to need all the help they could get," said Sherrouse. "We're all brothers and sisters in green, and we're going to help our surrounding agencies when they call. We're going to come running."

He spent ten hours on patrol stationed on Thomas Drive, watching and observing something unlike anything he's ever seen.

"There was lots of drugs, lots of guns seized," said Sherrouse. "I think the total number of guns Saturday was 20 guns. And in my short career of six years, I've never heard of anywhere seizing 20 guns. That's basically a gun every 30 minutes."

He wasn't even sure he would make it home.

"I knew it could be the last time leaving the house and maybe not coming back," said Sherrouse. "Over the years it's increasingly got worse, and we all knew it was going to come to a point like this. We didn't know it was going to come as soon as it did."

He said it's an area that is no longer family oriented but can be by taking some serious steps.

"My personal perspective of it, there's going to have to be some new ordinances in place, or some current ordinances changes," said Sherrouse. "More deputies and more city officers brought in than normal."

I think we should rotate spring break, pcb, ft. lauderdale, daytona, Clearwater. Make it like a world tour. Spring Break, The Disaster, coming to a beach near you.
