Daytona Beach B-Side: Fun Comes With Responsibility




Daytona Beach has always been a hotspot during spring break and college reunions. Back in the day, the beach was alive with music, sun, and community—not gunfire. But over the years, things have shifted. Recently, the B-side area saw a shooting involving young people trying to recreate that same Black Spring Break vibe.


Chief Chipwood didn’t hold back in his remarks—and he’s right. The safety of our community comes first. You can come to Daytona Beach to have fun—but there are rules. If you act foolish, there are consequences. That’s accountability: it doesn’t care about age, race, or background.


Here’s the reality:


  • Alcohol and unruly behavior on the beach can escalate quickly. Deaths, injuries, and arrests happen when people push the limits.
  • Law enforcement is tasked with keeping residents and visitors safe, and Chief Chipwood has made it clear: illegal activity will not be tolerated.
  • Parents, this is your cue: teach your kids the difference between fun and chaos. If they cross the line, consequences follow.



Now, let’s be real: Daytona Beach is still a beautiful place to visit. There’s sun, sand, and plenty of ways to have fun responsibly. Residents enjoy themselves when they travel, and visitors can do the same—but you’ve got to come with home training. Know how to behave. Keep your head low. Follow the rules.


Chief Chipwood has cleaned up Volusia County over the years, and while some didn’t like it at first, the result is a safer, more welcoming community. So yes—you can come have fun. Just do it right. No chaos. No fights. No unnecessary attention. Respect the city, respect each other, and Daytona Beach will welcome you.


Remember: fun is allowed. Foolishness is not.

Daytona Beach Police Department: When Officers Assault and Get Away With It, Who’s Watching Them?

Image
I just watched a video that should make every resident of Daytona Beach sick to their stomach. A young man is on the ground. His hands behind his back. And an officer from the Daytona Beach Police Department is sitting on top of him, punching him in the face repeatedly. Two other officers stand by, doing nothing while people around scream and record.  Let’s be clear: this man was restrained. He was not a threat. Yet he endured violence at the hands of those sworn to serve and protect. In America, we have the First Amendment to the United States Constitution . That means people can talk back, criticize, or even “trash talk” police without fear of physical retaliation. Words are not a crime. Being disrespectful is not a crime. Yet, in this video, restrained words meet relentless fists. Officers are also bound by the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution , which protects citizens from excessive force. And the Civil Rights Act of 1871 (Section 1983) allows people to sue ...

Daytona Beach Police Misconduct: The Full Story They Don’t Want You to See 🔥

Polite at first, Anderson complied. He handed over his drink when asked by the officer. He spoke back verbally, like normal people do—and that’s legal. This is America; freedom of speech protects verbal expression, even if it’s directed at law enforcement. There’s no law forbidding someone from talking back to a cop.   Watch the full video link of the officers’ body cam.  Officers body cam Legal reference: U.S. Const. amend. I – Freedom of Speech Fla. Stat. § 843.02 – Resisting arrest does not include lawful speech; turning your back or walking away is not resisting arrest. How Things Went Wrong The escalation began before Anderson was even placed in the patrol vehicle. Anderson had his hands behind his back, already restrained. Officer Llinas, a large man, sat on Anderson and pressed his arm into his head, forcing his face into the pavement. The amount of force used was significant given Anderson’s size. Anderson was punched multiple times while on the ground. He was...

They Not Calling It a Gag Order… But Watch What It Does

  Say what you want—this ain’t random. Florida bills SB 1632 / HB 1471 and SB 1712 / HB 945 are expanding power. Period. One lets the state label groups as “domestic terrorist organizations” and punish people tied to them. The other builds a state intelligence unit to monitor and investigate threats. Now let’s talk real. You give the government power to: Decide what group is a “threat” Watch and track people tied to it 👉 That’s where speech starts getting quiet. They not calling it a gag order—but when people feel like: What they post What they support What they say online …can be watched or used against them? Yeah, people move different. That’s how you don’t have to ban speech to control it. ⚠️ My Final Word This ain’t about fear—it’s about awareness. Because once laws start deciding: Who’s a threat What counts as support The question ain’t “can you speak?” It’s “will you still feel safe enough to?”
