Loud RAP music @ 2 AM

[rustyp]

Does anyone know what the story of loud obscenity based RAP music was last night at 2 AM ? Rumor mill has it that 100 young people were partying in the parking lot behind Margarita Republic.

Prom after party?

[Keefelane66]

I’m glad you alerted us and the rumor mill too.

Police Chief Ladylake is trying to get liquor ordinance all sales to stop midnight currently it’s 2am. Waiting for reply from syndicate lawyers.

If there were local H.S. proms last night, that would be a logical explanation, and probably nothing that will be a continuing routine ! Just some happy young folks having one memorable night ! As far as the liquor sales, just my "guess" but doubt M. Republic would be foolish enough to get known as a place that serves minors...would seem to be self-defeating for an open air bar right on the square ! But, only an opinion !

Wait, it happened at 2:00 AM TODAY and there is ALREADY a Rumor Mill?

My sarcasm meter is going off regarding a "Rumor Mill" about it.

[Gpsma]

Thank god it wasnt loud Guy Lombardo music at 2am

[rustyp]

To any of the sarcastic remarks which I am also an ace at truthfully this went on for hours last night. I have been in TV for 17 years now and this is the first time I did not feel safe.

Loud music made you feel unsafe? Or do you equate Rap music with violence?

I didn't hear about any violence associated with the loud Rap music, so evidently, your fear was misplaced.

I don't blame you for being annoyed at being disturbed at that hour. I hate hearing loud music of any kind at ridiculous hours. I don't particularly like it in the daytime either. There are noise ordinances for a reason. It distresses me that it is so difficult to get them enforced.

Did you call law enforcement?

If it became violent, or was actually a "riot" (what ever the true definition of that is ?), I'm sure we'll be able to read all about it in the on line villages news paper, they would never miss a story that big ! I wonder how far it could be heard ? Actually the area behind M. R. is not that far from several hotels, and also the home of priests serving St. Timothy's... surely the police were called, but nothing in the Daily Sun this morning ? Surprise !

[Michael G.]

There are noise ordinances for a reason.

Oh Please, tell me this is true and who is enforcing this.
Someone forgot to tell the Harley riders this and other vehicles without exhaust.

Please stop referring to RAP as music, it’s noise pollution.

As far as the liquor sales, just my "guess" but doubt M. Republic would be foolish enough to get known as a place that serves minors...would seem to be self-defeating for an open air bar right on the square ! But, only an opinion !

Why not? They are already known as a place customers drug and rape girls. They over serve drunks all the time. They allow all kinds of dangerous behavior. What is one more little incident.

[Sandy and Ed]

Ah…..maybe an April Fool’s Day joke that went a little over the top?? Let’s see: M.R., youth, rap music, Welk, priests, etc. Plenty of folks to offend here.

Well that seems rather overly dramatic. Rap music makes you feel unsafe vs gun shots or the like? What is this world coming too where people are enjoying themselves to music of their era. I bet the Beatles with their long hair caused a similar stir in the 60s.

It's a BYOB party so no ordinance will stop the alcohol. And mods can you please stop any post that starts off with "I heard from a friend who heard from a friend". What a pitiful place we live in now.

[Captainpd]

To any of the sarcastic remarks which I am also an ace at truthfully this went on for hours last night. I have been in TV for 17 years now and this is the first time I did not feel safe.. So loud rap music is more fearful than everything else going on. Moving is always an option

They did. I remember my parents’ reaction to the Ed Sullivan show the first time the Beatles appeared. Not complimentary.

Nevertheless rap “music” has earned its negative reputation. It didn’t start that way. Remember M.C. Hammer and “Can’t Touch This”? Sort of pre-rap, maybe. But rap as evolved (devolved?) into an art form where things like abuse of women, drug use, crime, etc. etc. are glorified. Rap has in effect become the anthem of people that I and many others I know want nothing to do with.

Is it’ ok to ridicule another human being because they feel fearful about something in America without knowing what they have been through. I like to hear comments from people who validate one another’s feelings.

Loud music from Spanish Springs after 10:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m

The parking lot behind Kilwins in Spanish Springs Town Square was overflowing Friday night with about 100 young adults who were blasting very loud music. They would play the music real loud—loud enough to make its way clear across into the Historic Side, and make it sound like it came from the dog park by the bridge over the highway. After a couple of minutes, they then shut it down for a few minutes, and then start over. Around 1:30 a.m the music stayed on, and after investigating, a scene similar to what we had seen on the news of Panama City Beach and Miami Beach during spring break was occurring. The young adults were throwing trash, drinking, and just causing a ruckus. A single Lady Lake officer was asked if he didn’t hear the loud music, and he responded that as soon as he starts chasing the group, they run away, so he was going to call for backup. He blamed the unruly crowd on Margarita Republic serving alcohol until 2:00 a.m. I think we all need to call the Lady Lake Police, Lake County Sheriff, and the Lady Lake Mayor and The Villages Community Watch and tell them they need to nip this in the bud, or we're going to have a mess in our SS parking lots every weekend.

Apparently you only read the Daily Sun. The Lady Lake Poice Chief is proposing closing the bars at midnight because of the constant trouble at the joints open after 12 AM.

Can’t wait (not) for the spring breakers to find TV and have them descend on us like the do in Miami. Just a few thousand happy young folks.

They had that in Royal a few years ago, though not spring break.

WILDWOOD — A Tampa woman was killed and a Tampa man arrested Sunday after a mass shooting at a Father’s Day block party in central Florida sent hundreds of people running for their lives, the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office said.

In all, 11 people were shot at the Father’s Day celebration – an annual tradition for residents of the Royal Park community that’s held each year on private property in the Wildwood area, northwest of Orlando.

[scooterstang]

Well i for one know exactly what type of music the poster is talking about because i live in panama City FL and hear that type of music non stop during spring break. I can't really call it music though. it's all about killing the po po and raping girls and every other word is the f word. And yes it is goes hand and hand with violence here. The bikers have loud music but it is old rock and roll or hair bands which does not offend anyone.

This isn't the '70s.

I suggest you look up the latest FBI statistics.

But you missed the point...it was LOUD, Loud music could mean violent people I guess ! ? It is sometimes difficult to to follow the "logic" of what an individual posts, but it also is a reason I enjoy the "variety". Will I now feel fear when I encounter loud music, probably not, but, then again at least I tried to understand how it might frighten others. I can understand if it prevented peaceful sleep, that I could understand !

TOTALLY agree, but then, that's coming from an "old foggy", totally out of touch with the "in favor,woke", lyrics... or is it "politically correct lyrics" in this era of hate of police/authority/borders/rules/laws ?? Apologize, working to over come the sarcasm I acquired during the pandemic and the political division that has become so intense people can't even enjoy the company of their neighbors is they happened to "belong" to a different political party !

Naive me ! Been here 18 years, had NO idea ! Two weeks ago took a friend and her granddaughter there for outside dinner and music. Ignorance truly is bliss I guess, I had no idea I put them in danger, and the 18 years old granddaughter whose graduation we were celebrating, could have been RAPED, I'm trying to let that sink in, don't want to have to think about what I exposed them to !

When all of the Virtue Signaling is over, there remains a post concerning loud music until 2AM. Some here would like to try and label anyone annoyed at the noise as one or more ists. How dare anyone complain about loud noise til 2AM. Next someone will call the police if they are being robbed. ist, ist, ist, ist, ist.

If they were playing country music, it would be ok to call out the National Guard. Since they were playing RAP, well you know. It is ok. Stop showing your privilege.

I would propose that the music being LOUD does play a part in feeling unsafe. If people lowered the volume of the rap music after 10 or 11, it would most likely not be an issue. If a crowd of 100 plays their music very loudly after midnight, it can be assumed they really have no consideration for others or rules of law (even those not enforced).

I find it interesting that you found it necessary to bring up Caitlin Clark on a discussion about loud rap music . Caitlin is a marvelous athlete who plays for a team that has 2 players and a bunch of feathers , if South Carolina had played them 10 times they would have probably won 9 , I know , a certain part of American was cheering on the white woman , but sorry to say they were beat by the better team , and I don’t blame LSU for some good natured trash talk they were very disrespected coming into this game and had some fun with it , FYI Saint Caitlin didn’t complain and there are plenty of clips on sports shows of her talking trash ,if people don’t like thrash talk that’s ok , but some of the sports talk radio today was way over the line , but no matter it’s great for woman’s basketball and can’t wait if the t v networks are smart they’ll be a rematch early in the season in prime time

A spokesperson, who requested to be anonymous as they were not authorized to speak on the subject, confirmed that a Villages resident coming from Gators in Spanish Springs at 12 am, after partying with friends, did report seeing 100 young people partying in the parking lot behind Kilwin and playing Rap music. The suspected 100 people were gone when anuthorities arrived, suggesting they were playing a “cat and mouse” game. The spokesperson said, “limiting alcohol sales to 12 am should solve the problem.” A panel of experts examining the issue concurred stating, “Considering Gators closes at 12 am, Margarita Republic closes at 9 pm, and Amerikanos closes at 9 pm as does Augustine’s close at 9 pm. This would solve the problem.”

And this from the online paper that shall not be named:
Mayor James Rietz, who lives on the Historic Side of The Villages, said that over the weekend he could hear late-night music coming from Spanish Springs. He read excerpts from an email from a resident who said a large crowd had gathered in the parking lot behind Kilwin’s on Main Street at Spanish Springs Town Square. They had turned up rap music and apparently were playing a cat-and-mouse game with police.

100 people partying and causing a ruckus simply disappeared? Cops calling for backup to deal with the crowd but then no mention of it in the news? A "panel of experts" that doesn't know the closing time of the bar/restaurants in the area? In a world full of cameras there isn't one video of "a scene similar to what we had seen on the news of Panama City Beach and Miami Beach during spring break?"

Is any of this true? There is such a similarity to an urban legend that it's easier to believe it all started with the original post. (Yes, I saw the OP's reply in #15)
