The crowd at Sunset Beach Bar is good today... So I guess it is not effecting tourism in that area. http://sunsetsxm.com/plane-info/I do hope an update on the shooting is in the media so we can better understand the incident.

Driftwood has changed. A lot
Wendell How? I was there 3 times last week at all hours....even a late night pizza when we couldn't decide what else to do. No problems. There's also no indication this had ANYTHING to do with Driftwood. That car is up on the roundabout in front of the Maho Market. Could have been ANYTHING. Lot's of people milling about that area at night.

As has been stated MANY times on this forum, both by locals and visitors, you do NOT walk this area at night.

As has been stated MANY times on this forum, both by locals and visitors, you do NOT walk this area at night. And it’s been said by people who live close to the area and are probably far more aware of what goes on than the casual vacationer would be. Let’s just cross our fingers and say a prayer for the victim’s full recovery..
Respectfully,

Very scary story, but it won't stop us from coming. Others?? I don't know, it probably will stop some people.

Where did you get pizza at that hour Beach Kitten? I have been hearing that Driftwood isn't open that late? Tortuga perhaps? Just curious. Sad situation. No, walked over to Driftwood. It was Saturday night. I did call in the order first.

Leaving in 2 1/2 weeks and staying right across from where this incident occurred (for one month). That's not an area where I would expect this kind of thing to happen as there is generally a lot of foot traffic--even at 11:00 p.m. Very concerning and makes you realize this can happen anywhere. Scary! A lot of foot traffic would provide multiple choices/victims if one was looking to rob someone.

It also provides for the possibility of many more witnesses to the violent act. But I imagine many of these perpetrators are on drugs so they are not thinking clearly--nor do they care. Just looking for a target. 100% correct. Multiple targets and rational thinking does not exist. You go where the easy pickings are and where people might be carrying $$ or jewelry.

Witnesses are for after the fact. Someone is already shot.
Wendell Not necessarily. Witnesses can be a deterrent. But only if the assailants are rational--these crazies are obviously not rational.
