Beyond the BP oil spill's long-term effects on this already economically-depressed area, there are many in Panama City, Florida who are illiterate, homeless, battered, repeatedly trafficked, impoverished, teen mothers and disabled, elderly grandmothers.
I spoke with many of these people while visiting there, and was shocked at the way business merchants and law enforcement catered to the gang-raping, Caucasian, male, university-aged (18 to 35), "Spring breakers." If you ever visit there, bring a large group of safe adult friends along, because pretending to be invisible/a non-English speaker isn't good enough, for self-defense purposes.
***Many of those violent gangs of huge, 300 pound, steroidal, Caucasian men, in groups of five or more, all seem to be on crack/cocaine. Many of them also behave like those Hell's Angels descriptions.***
