The Miami Beach City Commission voted Monday to not set a curfew for this upcoming weekend, but the panel did pass a measure ordering liquor stores to close early after two deadly shootings riled the popular Florida spring break location.

During a special meeting in the wake of the fatal shootings, some commissioners argued the third weekend of spring break – which just passed – is typically the time period that sees violence. Two commissioners argued it would be unfair to punish future crowds for what happened last weekend.

The move comes as the area is set to host the popular Ultra Music Festival, which is set to bring tens of thousands of electronic music fans to Bayfront Park, according to the Greater Miami convention bureau.

Four commissioners, a majority, voted no on the proposal. Six of the panel’s seven members voted in favor of forcing liquor stores to close at 6 p.m. ET.

4. This violence always seems to happen during the same week every year. They seem to know that.

Which schools are out during this time period? VERY easy to find that out.

Consequences for the schools perhaps? Surprised they've not done something since they know when this is happening.

5. Translation: we need spring breakers dollars over lives.

For verily I say unto you, a profit must be respected in his home town.

We are talking about a State that looked Covid in the eye and said, "Immuno compromised lives don't matter."

Does anyone expect more from Flwhoreda?

Please don't!
