re: #74 Targetpractice

It’s one of the reasons I refuse to go near the beach even in years when there isn’t a viral outbreak. The only reason I’ve been to the beach in the past 20 years I’ve lived here is for work. Every year, I mutter at least once “Why do they call it ‘tourist season’ when you can’t shoot them?”

LOL.

I didn’t go to the beach much when I lived at the beach. Occasionally I would go out for a walk along the boardwalk in the evening. I stayed away from packed restaurants and bars and such.

There was once a Klan rally and parade scheduled at the beach while I was stationed at NAS Oceana. The base put out word the whole Virginia Beach Borough was off-limits that day and evening unless you lived there (me and about two other people).

I stayed in my apartment with the door locked.

As I recall, the police rounded up reporters and counter-protestors and locked them in the tennis courts at the south end of the beach, which turned into a shitshow I Amendment case later against the city.
