Economic Chaos Leads to Unraveling of Civil Society

- In South Beach, Miami, permanent residents who dared to object to widespread vandalism and violence from the annual “Urban Weekend” crowd are being vilified as racists, not victims.
- In Myrtle Beach, another absolutely charming town here in the Carolinas, the annual Black Bike Week gathering led to 8 hours of violence, including multiple robberies and stabbings. Objections by locals who had the courage to complain about bloodshed in their streets have not only fallen on deaf ears, but have been dismissed as bigotry.
- In Nashville, special police units had to break up violent, unruly crowds who had taken over a local water park, Wave Country.
- “I never imagined it could happen here.”
- “I thought these things only happened to someone else.”
- “Who dreamed this could happen in my own back yard?”
