And in the effort of reporting on both sides, here comes Safebeaches.org , organized in the hopes of passing an alcohol ban on all San Diego beaches. Of course, drinkers aren't helping any when they tend to spend their afternoons getting drunk and beating each other up. According to MSNBC:
As proposals for banning alcohol on San Diego beaches come before the City Council on Monday, disturbing videotape of an alcohol-fueled beating near the Ocean Beach Pier two months ago has surfaced in a criminal case. The sequence was recorded by Julie Klein, an Ocean Beach woman who was on the pier videotaping her son surfing when the beating occurred.
Klein is an activist with SafeBeaches.org, a coalition of some 500 beach area residents and merchants who favor a year-round alcohol ban on San Diego Beaches.
"We need to take charge like they did in the La Jolla Shores area (where a permanent alcohol ban has been in effect for 17 years)," Klein told NBC 7/39.
I know it's the "one bad apple" argument, but COME ON. One bad apple, and a girl wheeling a bike, and the lady that filmed it.
