None wounded in shooting on crowded Hollywood Broadwalk. Victims range from 65 years old to as young as 1.

*NINE wounded

I wish it had been "none".

None wounded, OP? Hmmmm.

This article states it was a dispute between two groups. Fortunately, it looks like they have one perp in custody.

[quote] One person has been detained by police, and officers are searching for a second person described as a Black male with dreadlocks who was last seen wearing a black short sleeve shirt and camouflage shorts.

lots of T&P's !

I don't know what T&Ps are, but if that one year old had a gun, this might have ended sooner - err, something like that.

T&P = tits and penis. Example: “Eddie Murphy was a T&P man.”

Thoughts and prayers, Rose.

Round up the usual suspects: drag queens and trannies.

Has the South Beach Memorial Day crowd moved north or was this a different influx of trash?

Dunno, R9. But anyone who takes a firearm to the beach is trash.

Is anything or anywhere nice anymore? Seems like the inmates are running the asylum everywhere these days.

Is it a BROADwalk or a boardwalk? I've seen it spelled both ways in the same article.

I haven’t visited Hollywood, FL, since the 1970s. I see that there’s been a huge demographic change there. In 1980, the population was 90% white. In 2020, the white population had plummeted to just 37.2%. I hadn’t heard of any reason for such an exodus.

This is happening under 'Ron DeSantis' government' - so who would want him to run our country as President ?

These kinds of fights should be solved by ripping weaves off, not by shooting.

Same reason why the white people leave any area........... a drag queen and rainbow flag were spotted by one frantic frau.

R13 thinks the absence of white people is a cause for concern.

This isn't racism! We all know white people aren't involved in mass shootings at all, for instance.

I was born in Hollywood (and got the fuck out when I was 16). But one of the great things about living there was the beach on an early Saturday morning. When I was in high school, I would get up before dawn, pack my stuff up and drive to the beach and watch the sun come up and lay out in the early morning sun for about 2-3 hours until the beach started to get populated. It was so quiet and peaceful. I'd go to bed that night and I could still feel the tide coming in when I was lying still.

Ponyboy was right- nothing gold can stay.

This is the kind of gang shootouts that killed Westwood in LA.

A dispute between two “groups?” Who - the Boy Scouts vs. the 4-H Club?

R18 If you left Hollywood FL when you were 16, how old were you when you used to drive out there while in high school ?

You had to be under 16 if you left the city at the age of 16, but one of the great things of 'living there' was driving to the beach.

It is either a mentally ill white man, or a Black thug!!

Has Guv De Sanctimonious commented on all this shootout or the other crimes plaguing Florida under his watch ? Probably not.

He's too busy trying to hoist his fat ass into national office.

The young men did it because they are suffering a crisis in masculinity due to the existence of drag queens, trans people, and fat women in bikinis!

It was ANTIFA!

These fine young men are victims of systemic racism.

They should just use beer bottles.

Sunny Hostin needs to talk to her two children - Paloma and Gabriel - about the dangers of going to the beaches in Florida. Yes, Sunny, it's time to have the conversation.

I was 15 and 16. I didn't leave Florida the second I turned 16. I graduated HS in June (at 16) and became an emancipated minor soon after that. I went to NYC in the late winter of the next year.

The legal driving age in FL is 16 and you can get a learner's permit at 15. And you can legally drive at 15 as long as there is a legal driver in the car with you. Or you can illegally drive with your learner's permit by yourself very carefully and hope you don't get pulled over.

Has Wannabe Jackie O released a tearful Twitter statement yet?

Do you know what happened to the city and what caused it? I assume it’s a lot different now than when you lived there.

Is it broad where a broad should be broad?

I really don't, R32. I left in the mid-late 80s and I've been back exactly three times, the last was 2009. I remember when I came back in 1999 I was shocked at how built up it had become, but it was progress like I'm sure every smaller suburban town experienced. A similar thing was happening in Port St. Lucie, which is about 90 min north of Hollywood. My grandparents lived there and I can remember visiting them in 1980 and having to be dragged there because there was nothing to do, maybe one tiny movie theater and that was it. When I visited them in 1987, just before I moved to NYC, there were malls and theaters and the population exploded.

When I was growing up in Hollywood/Ft. Lauderdale, the population was part natives, part snowbirds (Canadians who spent the winters there) and part NY'ers who fled south. When I came to NYC and said I was from the south, people would scoff when I said Florida. It really was considered an annex of the North.

The poorer areas were places like sections of Ft. Lauderdale, Dania (it's been so long I barely remember the areas) and others. I was bused to a very poor, very black neighborhood for two years of elementary school. When it came time to hit middle school, my parents put me in catholic school because the neighboring middle school, Crispus Attucks MS, had a horrible and violent reputation.

But South Florida back then was very segregated in terms of neighborhoods. When the Cubans came in 1980, they pretty much set up camp in the Miami area. We rarely went to Miami. It was about a 45-60 min drive from Hollywood. North Miami was the closest we'd get. We'd take the bus to the 163rd Street mall because it had the most amazing movie theater on the property. And then we moved to the west side of Hollywood, near Pembroke Pines and Cooper City, which was a bit more affluent, though one of my old Hollywood neighborhoods looks like it went sharply downhill the last time I drove past it. I couldn't tell you when it happened.

Ft. Lauderdale was a little more rural than Hollywood. Ft. Lauderdale was where you would find the rednecks in that area. So when I returned in '99 for a film festival, I was shocked at how much it had been built up. Ft. Lauderdale also had a lot of mobile home parks. Some were like the stereotypes you see on tv and in movies, but many were actually really nice. Before my grandparents moved to PSL, they lived in one in Ft. Lauderdale that was built next to just huge open fields, miles of nothing. But it was built around a small lake and there was a clubhouse, and tennis courts and a pool. The mobile homes were nice and they seemed gigantic. I went to school with two sisters who lived in an even nicer park. It was called ESCOM and then changed its name to The Estates. All the mobile homes were double wides and more like pre-fab houses than trailers. And they actually had a country club in the park. (Go figure.) If Hollywood had mobile home parks, I didn't see them. We were very firmly in neighborhoods made up of houses.

It was definitely a time of transition when I was growing up there. I couldn't wait to get out, and I would never go back, but I am able to remember a lot of fun things about it as a kid, but I also think a lot of that has to do with the time. Things were a lot more innocent back then.

[quote] You had to be under 16 if you left the city at the age of 16

Come again?

Hollywood’s “boardwalk” is indeed called the Broadwalk.

Please don't let the shooter be......

DAMN.

It was a trans man.
