I to live on the beach, in a residential area .where I lived for over three years. I had no problems at my end of town, speaking from a residential point of view. you're taking an insolated incident, and making a prelude for an entire holiday. if the incident so enraged you then why not just call the cops?? lord knows there was enough them around, but whatever that your choice. my intentions, which you alluded to. are to hopefully enlighten people, beyond the negative bullshit a majority of the media dishes out. hope where all clear now..

steffy27 Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 I think its really funny how the city is trying to get Ultra moved out of here, and in the meantime the only time of year that has the most violence is MDW There have been paddy wagons lined up on the street next to my apartment all week, I cant even drive down most of the streets cuz they are blocked off. Does this happen during any other event here? NO! The city should concentrate more on the things that are damaging this city and not the ones that are beneficial.

pod Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Though remember, it's the city of Miami that is concerned about Ultra, not Miami Beach...MB kicked Ultra out a long time ago Technically, Ultra could happen on the beach again, it's just that the main audience (kids) could not attend.But still, you're right...the city gets all concerned about dance clubs, and then they go on and let a messy event like this weekend go ahead. Though this year went off pretty well officially, I've heard all sorts of unofficial complaints from residents and businesses alike...

steffy27 Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 But they had Washington, Collins, and Ocean closed all yesterday morning cuz there was a shoot out and they had to go searching each hotel for the guys who did it I dont see how that can be classified as going off well...true about the two city differences but you get my general point, I just dont get how any of this holiday helps MB or Miami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence if there where arrest, etc. you wouldn’t know because, the MB Police department does not hold daily press conferences during WMC. they do during MWD. Hmmmmm! makes you wonder … By CORALIE CARLSONAssociated Press WriterMay 27, 2003, 6:58 AM EDTMIAMI BEACH, Fla. -- Police made more arrests over the Memorial Day weekend on South Beach than they did last year, but officials still declared the busiest tourism weekend of the year a success. Through Monday evening, 216 people had been arrested over the holiday weekend, well above last year's Memorial Day weekend total of 148 arrests. Final arrest totals for the weekend would be released later Tuesday, police spokesman Bobby Hernandez said. Of the 216 arrests, 43 were on felony weapons, drug or assault charges. At least one person was cited for playing an automobile's radio too loudly; most other arrests were for misdemeanors such as disorderly conduct or public drinking, officials said. Police responded to a shooting Sunday night, but the 23-year-old victim had only graze wounds and refused hospitalization. This year's arrest figures exceeded the 211 reported during the same weekend in 2001, when raucous crowds overwhelmed police. But the overall behavior of the 200,000 estimated revelers who partied on South Beach this past weekend was in no way reminiscent of the out-of-control scenes on the beach two years ago, city manager Jorge Gonzalez said. "It's night and day," Gonzalez told The Miami Herald for its Tuesday editions. "The crowd is a lot more behaved and the city is a lot more prepared to handle anything that comes up in the hot spots. By all accounts, people seemed to have a pretty good time." Tourists Cyeada Smith, 21, and Andrea Tilghmay, 20, from Piscataway, N.J., were among those still enjoying the sights and sounds well into Monday evening. "I heard it was really packed during the week," Smith said. She and Tilghmay, wearing tank tops and short skirts, had just posed for pictures for a young man who had stopped them and asked if they minded. The friends said that earlier in the day, when the crowd was still spilling off the sidewalks into the streets, they were often approached by men who wanted their names and wanted to take photos for their Web sites. "It was just too many demanding guys," Smith said. Following the 2001 trouble, city officials created a major event plan that has been used the past two years. Hernandez said that "has really made the difference." More than 500 police officers worked the entertainment district, three-quarters of them on the 6 p.m to 6 a.m shift. "Everybody had a good time. That's what we wanted," Hernandez said. "Those who came looking for trouble, they found it and they were arrested."

pod Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 It's fine if the "urban" crowd comes on MDW, let's just not let it expand to every other weekend and turn the beach into a ghetto hellhole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess...too bad the clubs are whoring themselves...clubs who used to scrutinze who they let in...I personally like the fascist door policies some clubs have...it lets the good looking people in and the rest out... Deal with it? I will...probably move off the beach...too bad for me...I'm just lamenting this unfortunate turn of events... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 I'm not for fascist door policies, unless the club explcitly is geared as a location for celebrities and starfuckers...BED, Rumi, and Mynt can have them, since they never have good music, good crowds, or good DJs...they can go hang as far as I'm concerned, they keep the people I don't like cordoned off.As for other clubs where good DJs play, a fascist door policy isn't a good idea. Most good DJs draw a crowd that would probably lynch the doorperson if he or she made undue demands of a dresscode. Take a look at some of the posts on here...Stefan at Space, Fabrizio of crobar, and their ilk are on a lot of hitlists at some point.Unfortunately, there's no real way to screen out people from good events...though the event itself will often act as a screener in and of itself. You won't get ghetto-ness at a Layo and Bushwacka set for example... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funketeer Posted May 27 Author Report Share Posted May 27 I know I have settled my dispute with Tony about Memorial Day @ South Beach sucking major ass...but, I'd like to reiterate that it doesn't matter what race, creed or nationality the visitors to our beloved city are...if they're going to raise hell, disrespect authority and basicly behave like cattle...they shouldn't be allowed to have their shit-convention here...are we so desperate??? Hum...well, I guess we are...bad economy has made a whore out of South Beach...it was an ugly scene, honestly...also, what a bunch of posers...damn boyee...I don't know what the fuck is going on with our youth...these fuckers all represent I don't know what portion of our nation's population...but it has to be the one that is going to send this country straight to hip-hop hell...with so much drama in the lbc it's kinda hard being snoop d...o...double g...but I, somehow, some way, keep coming up with funky ass hits like every single day...hip-hop is not the problem...a youth with no personality and no identity is the problem...I look all fucked up=I'm cool...I have no manners =I'm cool...my ass is sticking out of my pants= I'm cool, my pants are falling off=I'm cool...serioulsy and for the last time...yo whattup, you know what I'm saying boyee, ignorant bastards with no future...that's what it all boils down to...a lost generation....wasting their time and minds on some marketing fabricated bullshit that makes them first, look like morons...then steals their individuality...I mean...what is the fun part of everyone dressing alike??? Everyone is dressed up like a basketball player!!! Even some huge fat ass is dressed up as a basketball player...who are they kidding??? Basketball my ass...fuckers can't even run three steps let alone jump after all the chronic blunts they smoke a day...you better lose yourself in the music, the moment you own it, sucks ass, you better never let it go yo...sucks ass!!!!!

sobeton Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 the atmosphere changes on Sobe during MDW, doesn’t bother me. people are people; I don’t care what there social, economic, racial, etc. background is.. the scene should reflect diversity.. I’m all about people being able to enjoy themselves, be who they are, while respecting themselves and the community. if you can’t respect the community, laws and the people that live in it, then yes I agree with Funketer your arse doesn’t belong on the beach or any other place for that matter. conversely the negative behavior of a few, should not cast a shadow over an entire group. it’s not fair, and to be quite frank it down right ignorant. I’m sure many on CP will recall the outrage on this board, when the Mayor of Miami wanted to close down Ultrafest. remember why he wanted to close it down?? think about it .. scrutinizing folks has no place, in a social setting, or any other setting as far as I am concerned. I’m as comfortable during MDW , as I am during WMC. I realize in different social settings the people, I am interacting with may not share my taste in music, educational background, etc. however I don’t let that intimidate me in anyway, I accept them as they are and hope that they do the same with respect to me. lack of understanding, leads to fear which imo leads to misinterpretation.. which is the direction, I for one hope this MDW issue does not go. having things thrown in your face, and dealing with the same is what life is all about. the unfortunate thing is when people, let there own insecurities preclude them from enjoying themselves. social skills are cultured at home, not in the streets.

Orisha Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 Hip Hop MDW or not, Funk & Sobeton have a valid point on today's youth. It all starts at home, and with each other. When that is lost, all is lost. Surely out of all those kids, a portion will eventually question things, and learn to think for themsleves. They use to call some of us *cough* older *cough* posters, "generation X", and I'm certainly no slacker..anymore Our current state is a sad fact of life, but hey at least there will be less competition for scholarships, grants, and good jobs, survival of the fittest, so to speak..As far as tastes go, everyone should have their weekend or confrence. Believe it or not, some people actually hate our music and clothes.. at least ours is the most non violent scene..we seem to believe in the 'make love not war' mantra!
