Massacre survivor calls for spring break boycotts in Florida

By David K. Li

February 24, 2018 | 1:14pm

Students should boycott the Sunshine State for spring break until lawmakers pass sensible gun control legislation, a Florida teen who survived the Parkland school massacre urged Saturday.

In a tweet likely to sent shivers down the spines of tourism officials from Miami to Jacksonville, Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS senior David Hogg called on young gun control advocates to take their kegs elsewhere.

“Let’s make a deal DO NOT come to Florida for spring break unless gun legislation is passed,” he tweeted to his 213,000 followers. “These politions (sic) won’t listen to us so maybe the’ll (sic) listen to the billion dollar tourism industry in FL.”

Actually, some business owners in Florida might welcome such a boycott. 

A friend and I go to Clearwater Beach almost every January.  We used to stay at a Mom and Pop motel (now gone).  The owner was a native of Western PA, and he and his wife took good care of 2 snowbirds from his old stomping grounds.  One day, we were talking, and the subject of spring break came up.  The owner said he and his fellow motel owners dreaded spring break.  The kids would tear up the rooms, start fights, throw God knows what into the pool, and just generally make life miserable for the owners and everyone else.  Sure, all the rooms were filled, but any profit that might have been made was eaten up trying to repair the damage and undo all the other havoc these kids caused. 

As I said, this motel and most of the other independent hotels and motels are gone -- replaced primarily by fancy condos and luxury resorts.  Room rates are deliberately jacked up in order to keep the hell raisers away.  I guess it has worked -- CWB doesn't seem to get the hordes of drunken college kids it once did.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

My hunch is this won’t work

College students won’t give up a week of easy booze and sex
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

This talking coat rack Hogg just doesn't want any outside competition in South Beach.
