#1 ...The Redneck Riviera has some rough spots, especially on Ocean Boulevard - but it's far from 'one of the most dangerous' I am suprised though that the town has let it get as far as it has without cracking down hard.

#2 Officials say with the large tourism population, those numbers can be skewed.

Yeah, I'm sure the tourists commit the crimes. More likely they're prey for a feral yout population that can't be discussed in polite circles

#3 With all due respect, Mike, the Redneck Riviera is on the Gulf Coast, stretching from Pensacola to Panama City Beach roughly.

#4 Frank, the problem is a statistical anomaly.

The number above the line will control how large the result is. If you include the tourists that will make the result a lot smaller hence the issue.

#5 "Our permanent population is very small, about 30,000 or so," a Myrtle Beach spokesperson Mark Kruea said. "But, when you look around, we feel like a much bigger town because we are. Our average daily population is around 100,000."

Fun with numbers.
Ask the victims if they care the town is full of tourists?

#6 There are two primary weekends in Myrtle Beach. I have pulled security for both:
White motorcycle weekend and black motorcycle weekend. One quite more violent than the other.I know what they are going through.
