Final Thoughts of Myrtle Beach June 2020

AT 2:00 ON OUR LAST DAY HERE...  the umbrella and chairs were empty as the couple who had rented them at not yet returned from wherever they had gone...  but, their rental fee was still good until 4:00...

A black couple with an entourage of about 15 other pretty evenly divided between adults and children decided to lay down their towels and chairs directly in front of the empty chairs where if the renters had returned, there was not enough room for them to get into their seats.  The older couple managed to sit in the chairs as if they belonged to them.

About 2:20, the lifeguard came by and asked them to leave the chairs because they had been rented by another couple...  and, the black couple along with their entourage yelled obscenities out at the lifeguard (who happened to be black as well) for having the damn nerve to ask them to leave...  as if they were entitled to whatever they wanted to take over.

My wife and I were sitting right beside the action and for a while there thought that we might become the victims of black violence because the black couple and their entourage was getting pretty frigging mad at everything and everyone without range of their voices and bodies.

The lifeguard got on his walkie talkie and radioed for assistance...  and, as soon as the black couple realized what he had done, they left and took all their followers with them...

That is the first time in over 20 years that anything like that had happened at Myrtle Beach were we were that close to the action and could have been in a position to have been harmed...
