Amen!! spoken like a true "wilmingtonian". The ones that are mainly pushing for this change are people that are either not from around here or to old to even go downtown. Back in the mid 80's to late 90's this town had dance clubs all over wilmington, not just downtown, and the "Jarheads" were the MAIN ones starting trouble, I know i was there. Now that the dance clubs/bars are mainly downtown that puts the main trouble makers in one spot. The officers are not an issue, its the newly enlisted that come all the way here because they have been barred from most of the local clubs, and think they are 10' tall and can whipp anybody and hit on any girl they want. Well guess what, you start hitting on the local girls while their man is standing there, you gonna get a fight!!! And thats the bottom line!!
