In a comment to local media, Myrtle Beach Mayor Brenda Bethune said of Saturday's mass shooting, "Last night was a very unfortunate event and one that can happen anywhere." 1 person died and 11 were injured in the event that took place on Ocean Boulevard from late Saturday night into Sunday. There have been 5 mass shootings downtown Myrtle Beach in the last 20 years. There have been NO mass shootings in any beach town from Wilmington to Mount Pleasant during that same time period. Myrtle Beach Mayor Brenda Bethune's Response to Local Safety Concerns Myrtle Beach Mayor Brenda Bethune added, "First of all, if any of those people live in the city of Myrtle Beach, then shame on them. This is a safe place. We should all be lifting up our community." In an avalanche of national, international and social media coverage, Myrtle Beach Mayor Brenda Bethune appears to be a mayor in denial. We showed our viewers clips of this news covered in Los Angeles, New York, India, England, and Canada yesterday. Today, our broadcast shows clips on social media that have garnered millions of views. In this avalanche of bad press, Myrtle Beach Mayor Brenda Bethune is most concerned about Myrtle Beach resident comments. Why? In the final social media post on our broadcast today, hear what this Tik Tokker says about the beach, itself. Myrtle Beach Mayor Brenda Bethune desires to bring a medieval army to a nuclear arms race that is today's media climate.

A mass shooting incident occurred downtown in Myrtle Beach near Ripleys Aquarium, resulting in one fatality from police gunshots and injuries to eleven other individuals. This event contradicts the city's claim of not being a dangerous beach destination. Myrtle Beach contested a recent report labeling it as the second most dangerous beaches in the US. The city argued that the study is inaccurate, faulty, and biased, relying on outdated information. The evaluation, conducted by Everly Life Insurance, considered risks such as shark incidents, drownings, and crime rates. Myrtle Beach held the second position in this ranking. 11 individuals sustained injuries and one fatality was reported following a shooting incident on Saturday night along the 900 block of North Ocean Boulevard, as per the Myrtle Beach Police Department, as of Sunday morning. Officers observed a disturbance involving multiple individuals at 11:50 p.m. on Saturday. They stated that in the midst of the dispute, an individual started shooting a gun, leading to the mass shooting. An on duty Myrtle Beach Police Officer responded by firing their weapon in reaction to the imminent danger. The officer involved did not sustain any injuries, but the person shot during the officer's response succumbed to their injuries. Jerrius Davis, aged 18 and from Bennettsville, S.C, was determined to be the individual who was shot and killed, as confirmed by Chief Deputy Coroner Tamara Willard. Officers stated that an independent investigation will be carried out by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) in accordance with established protocol. The incident will be internally reviewed by the Myrtle Beach Police Department. The Myrtle Beach police department said: "We appreciate the public’s patience as the mass shooting investigation proceeds, and all leads are thoroughly examined." For the past decade, the city of Myrtle Beach has experienced episodes of mass shooting events downtown. The city continues to rank on the list of most dangerous beaches.
Mass Shooting: 1 dead, 11 injured in downtown Myrtle Beach, rated 2nd most dangerous beach city.

WASHINGTON – A federal grand jury in Florence, South Carolina returned an indictment on Tuesday, April 22, charging Nasir Ullah, 28, and Naim Ullah, 32, both of Sumter, South Carolina, and Puquan Huang, 49, of Buford, Georgia, with conspiring to launder millions of dollars of proceeds derived from drug trafficking, including funds linked to Chinese Fentanyl Money Laundering. “As alleged in the indictment, the defendants laundered tens of millions of dollars in drug proceeds from the United States through China and the Middle East, enabling a continuous flow of fentanyl and other dangerous drugs into our country from Mexico. This operation highlights the serious issue of Chinese Fentanyl Money Laundering,” said Matthew R. Galeotti, Head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “Dismantling transnational criminal organizations and Chinese Money Laundering Organizations that support them is a critical priority for the Department. Alongside DEA and our local law enforcement partners, we will continue to prosecute the financial networks that fuel illegal drug trade and profit from the sale of deadly substances.” "We are committed to dismantling criminal organizations that seek to profit through the distribution of dangerous drugs like cocaine and fentanyl across South Carolina and beyond, including those involved in Chinese Fentanyl Money Laundering,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Brook B. Andrews for the District of South Carolina. “This $30 million money laundering operation, which has international ties, was conducted in multiple communities in our state. We will continue to work tirelessly with our law enforcement partners to trace these illicit funds, disrupt these networks, and hold those involved accountable for the harm they present." “Cases like this exemplify the value of partnerships,” said Jae W. Chung, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the DEA Atlanta Division. “The volume of dangerous drugs, including deadly fentanyl, impacts our communities beyond comprehension. This investigation and subsequent arrests demonstrate DEA’s commitment to protecting our community by destroying these drug trafficking and money laundering organizations.” According to court documents, unsealed today, Ullah, Ullah, and Huang allegedly worked for a money laundering organization that laundered at least $30 million in proceeds related to the distribution of illegal drugs, including cocaine and fentanyl, which were unlawfully imported into the United States, typically through Mexico. Ullah, Ullah, Huang, and their co-conspirators allegedly traveled throughout the United States to collect drug proceeds. They communicated with co-conspirators in China to arrange for the laundering of these proceeds through transactions designed to conceal the illegal source of the proceeds, including disguising the source of the drug proceeds by moving money through the shipment of electronic goods to China and the Middle East.

Witch hunt of Curtis Loftis ends as Santee Cooper customers still feel the 20% cost increases of Santee Cooper Rankin Rates caused by Luke Rankin's oversight loss in a $9.8 billion nuclear fiasco. The significant impact of Santee Cooper Rankin Rates continues to be felt across communities. By a vote of 33 Yay to 8 No, SC Senate voted this past week to remove S.C. Treasurer Curtis Loftis from office. The witch hunt was highlighted by Horry County S.C. Senator Luke Rankin chastising the treasurer over a $1.8 billion accounting error that cost S.C. taxpayers nothing. Rankin's role in Santee Cooper and the ongoing debate about Santee Cooper's management continues to be a point of contention. Rankin, however, actually had sole oversight that led to a $9.8 billion loss by Scanna and Santee Cooper. That loss created what Horry County residents now call Santee Cooper Peak Rankin Rates, which have caused significant concern among local communities about their inflated costs of Santee Cooper's energy solutions and services. What are Santee Cooper Peak Rankin Rates? Santee Cooper's peak hours rate for residential customers is $8.00 per kilowatt (kW) for the single highest hour of power used during a designated three-hour time frame each month. This new rate is part of a new rate structure introduced by Santee Cooper to address rising energy costs and improve financial transparency. Understanding the implications of Santee Cooper Rankin Rates is crucial for residents affected by the rising costs. The recent adjustments to Santee Cooper Rankin Rates reflect broader trends in energy pricing. These changes in Santee Cooper Rankin Rates have sparked discussions about energy affordability in our region. Understanding Santee Cooper's Role in the 20% Increase of Santee Cooper Rankin Rates These Rankin Rates are necessary to pay off the $9.8 billion oversight loss the utility continues to be burdened with. Specific Rankin Rates Peak Hours: April through October: 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. November through March: 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
Senator (who attacks Treasurer) lost $9 8 billion creating 20% rise in Rankin Rates for electricity.
Acclaimed S.C. lawyer Mark Tinsley and Myrtle Beach lawyer Natasha Hanna are representing the family of Scott Spivey in a soon coming civil lawsuit against North Myrtle Beach restaurant owner, Weldon Boyd. The media has been focusing on the case in recent weeks, delivering one blow after another to Boyd. Mark Tinsely and his client could earn a significant settlement by persuading the State Law Enforcement Division and the Attorney General's office to re-open the case. Tinsely excels in this particular field. On the social media platform X, Mark Tinsley calls himself a "dragon slayer, five year old forensic auditor, and part time provider of comedy all the while being a Tiger on your tail." Mark Tinsley is famously recognized for his involvement in the Alex Murdaugh case, where he adeptly leveraged media platforms and collaborates with local government entities. Recently, damage control efforts by Horry County Council Chairman Johnny Gardner, Mark Causey, and Tyler Servant are in response to Tinsley's master craftsmanship, coupled with statements recorded by Boyd that are salacious to say the least. Media Savvy Mark Tinsely is an expert at getting story placed in local news.
