Two popular Jersey Shore towns are going to court to try to block so-called "pop-up parties" at which thousands of people gather on the beach.At least two such parties planned for later this month are currently being advertised in online fliers that encourage attendees to bring their own liquor and marijuana, and promise public boxing matches.
"Enough is enough," said Long Branch Public Safety Director Domingos Saldida. "These viral parties are likely to get bigger and more dangerous until we do something about it." Springfield, Illinois, recently created a pop-up party task force and is considering partnering with local businesses to put up cameras to monitor spots where past parties have been held.
In New Jersey, Long Branch Mayor John Pallone said the city is seeking to hold financially responsible the organizers of a May 21 party that drew 5,000 people to his city's beachfront, leading to numerous fights and the vandalization of a police car. He said the city spent $25,000 on police overtime and cleanup costs.
