Savannah Cops bust a Scad Keg party, is this a property rights issue?

[DRFEELGOOD591]

Hey

[Red81Bunny]

I went to SCAD from 2000 to 2004. Best years of my life. Partied our asses off. The cops were ALWAYS cool. Rarely arrested anyone, just let it slide most of the time or shut it down if we were too loud. This video is stupid. Savannah kicks ass. Don't trash the cops, rich kids. Try partying somewhere else. It's a lot worse. You guys are retarded. When you get out of SCAD, you'll realize your SCAD degree ain't worth shit. Boo hoo bitches.

[JawsOlife88]

So the police dont do their job? Do you think police take time away from regular police work to bust underage drinkers? Im pretty sure they just happen upon it, or have a certain group of officers tasked with it. morons. think before you open your mouth. as for this jackass in the video, be careful and dont base everything off losers with too much time on their hands making utube vids pretending to be experts.

[ScottBrown666]

@JawsOlife88 You're actually wrong about everything you said. Move to Savannah and go to parties with college students and just wait for the police. Then wait for nearby gunshots later in the night, not to be followed by any sirens. I've heard of police being called by at least 4 different people to respond to a drive by shooting, and they never showed, and that's not a fluke occurrence by any means.

[YouCanCallMeCharlz]

I agree. For one their neighbors should have just tried to ask for them to keep it down themselves before resorting to calling the police if they didn't comply. Secondly, breaking up a party for a little too much noise and sending drunk and intoxicated people in the streets is 10 times worse than having a noise violation and annoying a few people. It would just be more likely someone gets killed by someone who had to leave and made the stupid decision to drive.

[Greenacres88]

Give me the "spoiled, yuppy art kids" in down town ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. Atleast they dont go around robbing and hassling people.

[frobrofityfoe]

scads the fucking gayest school ever

[pulloutsange]

One step closer to becoming a police state. 

[ahughes01100]

Truly disturbing how the kids in this video feel so entitled. As an alum, this video is embarrassing. As a resident of downtown, I am even more annoyed with my student neighbors who don't see a problem with waking me up at 3 a.m. The SPD policy is to call them to deal with the issue as not to ensue a fray- which our drunk-student neighbors have instigated twice now. At a larger university, they would be removed from the dorms for this behavior.

[skankburger]

@ahughes01100 ....where is this sense of entitlement? I think we can all agree that it's annoying to have loud neighbors, but his point was simply that the neighbors could have asked them to shut the hell up themselves, not sent armed thugs to harass them.

The part about the shed is what really annoyed me. These guys are trying to get a business together, and their fucking snoop neighbors call the police for essentially walking around their yard.

DOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BenBeanin]

Fuck SCAD!!!!!

[overshotfilms08]

@BenBeanin why?

[Hamhark98]

@BenBeanin Why? SCAD is a great place.

[BenBeanin]

@Hamhark98 Only if you are not from Savannah. The only thing SCAD brings to this town is money. The students don't care about this city and they treat downtown like there own personal campus. Even when they do something like restore an old building it is only used to serve SCAD and SCAD students. There is almost nothing left downtown for low income families to enjoy.

[k3rm1t32]

@BenBeanin That is such a silly thing to say! If a private citizen buys and restores a building they only use it for themselves. Are you implying that they are supposed to make it a public property? At least SCAD isn't razing historic sites and building new buildings

[BenBeanin]

@k3rm1t32 You didn't even acknowledge anything else I wrote about SCAD. And SCAD isn't a private citizen. Savannah is SCAD's bitch. And it sucks for anyone who is from here who actually cares about the community and it's artists and citizens. The students frown on local artists who don't attend SCAD. The students think all of downtown is there personal little campus. They don't obey traffic laws when riding there bikes. God I could on and on. But I don't blame them.

[BenBeanin]

@k3rm1t32 They've been raised in day care centers since the time they were born. Have no idea what respect to others actually means. No one has taught them how to interact with people outside there demographic. And SCAD isn't helping by buying up all the property. Forcing non SCAD related activities to move out of downtown. Essentially building an even bigger wall between these yuppy brats and the real world outside of SCAD. SCAD kids are fucking sheep. Bought and paid for with a new apple ipad.

[BenBeanin]

@Hamhark98 SCAD is the reason there is not a healthy and enthusiastic art/music scene in this city. We have an over saturation of so called "artists" with big egos. SCAD students never attend anything that isn't SCAD related. They are very reluctant to make friends with local people. The only thing they add to this city is money. Sorry dude but SCAD SUCKS ASS.

[jojod911]

Booo Hoooo! Stop whining

[dooditsanuhh]

the probability of any of those kids driving to a party is slim, because savannah is a huge walking/biking city; and it sounds ridiculous to say that some kid had to drive drunk because his ride was coming later because if he had a ride why would he drive there in the first place?

[skankburger]

@dooditsanuhh thats absurd man. the first statement is true, but it's ridiculous to assume that out of all the people at the party no one would be driving. i live in savannah and dont live close enough to downtown to walk or bike there.

Also, think about it man. If you arrange a dd, you drive to the party, and the dd picks you up. its not an escort service, theyre not gonna take you there and back.

[dooditsanuhh]

y wasnt a small gathering of friends having a few drinks enjoying eachothers company if the cops came and told people to leave. if you have a party you are responsible for having a good party, entertaining your guests, while making sure it doesnt get too rowdy, and if it does and the cops are called, youre responsible for the consequences. be grateful that most cops in savannah dont i.d. everyone when they bust parties, it could be a whole lot worse. p.s. if you go toSCAD you would know the prob

[dooditsanuhh]

as a resident of downtown savannah who has gotten the cops called on them for noise multiple times, i understand the dilemma. as it stands i am about to pay a hefty fine for excessive noise voilations. no, the cops should not have to be called; no, no one should be disrespected or cursed at, and no kids should be forced to drive drunk; but you have to realize that yes, there were probably dozens of kids drinking underage, and the noise was probably keeping neighbors from their sleep. it obviousl

[wachman]

by the government's definition, no one really has any property rights any more. in short, if they tax it, it's not yours.

[gerrilea1]

I see it this way, as long as your exercising your rights doesn't interfere with mine...I'm happy. Noise violations, my neighbors intentionally go barreling down the street on their intentionally modified noise makers (motorcycles). Every time, the pictures on my living room walls shake.

I personally would have spoken to them but out of fear of violence, I called the police. If my neighbors respected my right to a peaceful dinner, there wouldn't be a problem.

[TDawg2002]

Savannah PD sucks. They focus on underage drinking and jaywalking yet people get shot and killed each week and the PD issues a statement asking for the public's help identifying the perpetrator. Bunch of lazy sons of bitches. Do something worth while, SCMPD!

[jaimekid]

The problem begins with the property.

People began moving into more condensed cities and into jail cells known as apartments.

We need to get back to the point where each individual can live on an acre or more of land so that, even when there are restrictions on public property (ex. noise issues etc), one can have the space to have freedom on their own area without disturbing others.

[jaimekid]

That is the fundamental flaw. You can no more expect to put two people in a sealed box and not watch them fight

[jaimekid]

for air. We need to start a property movement whereby the government opens up state grounds for cheap to current non-homeowners.

Then we need to get to a single-tax system or better - where we pay a one-time tax of 5 percent or so and then own the title without lien by tax or other. Complete estate.

I did a video on this about the property tax.

[asdfqwerty2000]

This is Walter Block's view of noise rights: If the people trying to sleep were there first enjoying the quiet, then their preference trumps the noise makers'. If the noise makers were there enjoying making noise first, then their preference trumps that of the people attempting to sleep.

[asdfqwerty2000]

Think of it as similar to (or the same as) other homesteading principles.

Note: I'm still trying to work out the issue for myself in greater detail.

[RESET1776]

I think the issue is more about who are the police to say who can or can not be in a private home at any given time. Next time I say be respectful and tell the people to tone it down. But where do the cops come off saying who you can have as a guest in your own home & telling you they need to leave? I say next time stand up and say hell no this is my home & you cant say who can or cant be inside it. Having friends at your home isnt a crime!

[drumr828]

The Savannah/Chattam Metro Police can suck my left nut... pigs pull move over for driving in black neighborhoods and being white... It like the want racial seperation

[803honda]

they obviousley do want segregation. they will insist theyre only concerned for your safety but if thats the case they are racist for assuming the blacks want to hurt you.
