Or so they say. Easier to hear them while you walk the boardwalk, where last night a guy was shot to death.
Murder Beach. The sort of resort you get when everyone has a gun.

Voice of the people, some of whom sagely point out that plenty of other American locations are bloodbaths so why pick on Dirty Myrtle. Others note that many of the killers are out of towners, as if this makes any difference.
One guy uploads a film he took while slowly driving along the main tourist drag on a bright warm day recently. Pretty much no one there. Dangerous/threatening afternoon and evening. Curfews are no solution.
And here’s how you get to Myrtle Beach:
South Carolina has weak gun laws—missing the vast majority of the 50 key policies—and suffers one of the highest rates of gun homicides in the nation. Despite lending the name of its largest city to the gap in federal law that allows gun sales to go through while a background check is still underway, South Carolina has still not closed the Charleston Loophole that armed the mass shooter who attacked worshipers at the Emanuel AME Church in 2015. Lawmakers in 2024 repealed the state’s concealed carry permit requirement, allowing people to carry loaded firearms in public with no training or background check.
And July 4 is just around the corner!
