BillyVance 34 #3 March 23, 2010 Quote What do Skydivers have to do with it? it was black kids!Are skydivers no longer welcome ? Spence used to hold the St Patricks boogie in Dublin, GA for 5 years, 2004 - 2008, then the city decided they didn't want the event anymore. I'm not sure exactly what the circumstances were, but there is a 2 year old thread on here about it. I like Fitzgerald a lot better.

wmw999 2,116 #4 March 23, 2010 How do you know the kids were black? The article doesn't say so. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
futuredivot 0 #5 March 23, 2010 Reading the comments from the people that were there-but that's off subject. Spence, I think the difference between that festival and the boogie is that the festival generates fees for the city and the boogie put money in the hands of local businesses-unfortunately, the city/county fathers call the shots. I know that the locals business owners miss us.You are only as strong as the prey you devour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pbwing 0 #9 March 23, 2010 I just naturally assumed that because it was a gang at the St Patrick's Day Festival, that these rapscallions were somehow involved... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am a polie officer here in Dublin, my department or city council did not stop the boogie, Mark Mark is correct. It was the county commissioners and the administrators that I had my problem with. They all lied when they claimed they had no idea what had been going on at the airport for 4 yrs. But my biggest problem was with all of the people in town that loved us being there but stood silent and let small town government run a muck. You need only look at something like this to see why we will never straighten out our federal government. Too many people stand silent. The police were just doing their jobs, how they were told to do it. Even the part where they were pulling people over for tag lights out and running radar on Airport Rd. where there are no speed limit signs. If they can live with that then I can live with that. Can't see it from my boogie anymore. It's all good. Dublin has what they deserve and we have a new home. I didn't start this to be a serious thread. Just wanted to show that some people pick the wrong battles,cause I'm pretty sure that no one can show me where skydivers caused any trouble in the town/city of Dublin. The difference is the skydivers left, the thugs are there to stay. BTW, you could never get anything like this printed in Dublin because a politician owns the news paper there.
