Miami Beach Spring Break - Part II

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
I guess the kids would have been safer in Mexico dealing with the Los Zetas Cartel
Ya never know
PS. We need a wellness check on Papi in addition to Jack Slash

When I was in m late-teens in the late-80s SoBe was pretty-rundown and Miami-Beach was mostly a retirement-community – back-then there was still some partying in SoBe and nightclubs and such, but SoBe was nowhere-near what it is today in terms of popularity and international-recognition.
Sometime in the mid to late 90s there started being heavy-investment in SoBe and it started to become hip/popular again and many stars started buying-homes and/or moving to Miami/SoBe giving SoBe a lot of PR as the hip-place to be.
I moved from Miami to Dallas in 2000 so IDK when SoBe started becoming a mecca for young-black-people but I do recall reports of young-black-people flocking to SoBe in-the-early 2000s particularly during Memorial-Day-Weekend which was also referred to as Urban Beach Week.
I moved back to Miami in 2010 and from 2011 till 2019 I used to hangout in SoBe during Memorial Day Weekend and during Spring Break– it was mostly chill but when nighttime came that is when there were problems. During the day it was a mixed-crowd but at night it became mostly-AA – seemed most people that wanted to enjoy SoBe knew to enjoy-it during the day and avoid late-night (mostly Ocean-Drive though).
As has been posted – these are not “unruly college kids” – the ones causing mayhem are mostly the same kinda people that cause mayhem in the inner-city.
Miami has always had some very-rough/high-crime areas. There used to be a tv-show on cable called “The First 48” which was a reality tv-show that followed homicide-detectives around the country solving murder-cases and a good # of the episodes were based in Miami often around an infamous area of Miami called “The Pork and Beans projects” (street name) – that high-ass-crime hood-area is about 10-miles from SoBe (and there are some hoods even closer).
The people that make the Miami hood-areas so dangerous are often the ones causing issues in SoBe (as well as hoodsters from outside of SoFlo) – the Ocean-Drive area of SoBe (street that is parallel to the beach in SoBe) is a great place to hang w/o having to spend any $$$ - one has the beach which is free plus there is a great party-atmosphere on Ocean-Drive where there are a lot of open-air bars-and-restaurants w/ tons of young-people walking up-and-down Ocean-Drive which is closed-off to car-traffic during peak-times (holiday weekends; Spring Break etc) – Ocean-Drive is filled w/ young-people and hot-chicks walking-around wearing-barely-anything (tiny bikinis/g-strings etc).
So there is the combo of:
1) SoBe seems to have become the designated party-area for AAs
2) it’s basically free to party/hangout there – it’s a public-event on public-property so it’s not as if anyone (hoodrats) can be denied access
3) SoBe being super-tourist heavy and tourist$ being the biggest economic lifeline for the city; over the last 2-decades the city had been pretty-laxxed w.r.t. letting people have a good-time and Miami Beach PD was def friendlier and more accommodating than the rest of SoFlo – but obviously the thug/criminal element tends to also “benefit” from this lax-policy
The above means that along w/ regular-people that wanna come down and just enjoy a good-vibe for a few-days; the above also attracts the hood/thug element b/c who doesn’t like a huge-party where it’s pretty-much free w/ tons of hot-babes hanging-out wearing barely-anything and going a bit-crazy letting-loose while on vacation (it’s kina a cheaper/younger version of Mardi Gras).
As comedian Chris Rock once put-it – “every time black people wanna have a good time niggaz fuck it up”:

And over the past years when there have been the most issues w/ crime-and-violence and the city/business-owners have tried to put measures-in-place; the wokes and race-baiters immediately start accusing the city of “racist policies” being implemented just b/c black-people are there.
My question is what the fuck happened to Daytona? That was the spring break mecca.
