LA County OKs $1,000 Fine For Throwing Football, Frisbee On Beaches

World Peace is going to be pissed.

 

It's not the federal government forcing this on anyone. If a community wants that to be a local regulation, what problem do you have with that? Shouldn't communities have the freedom to make regulations they see fit?

That's very un-libertarian and un-Ron Paul of you.

 

woowee! Cocteau's plan is coming to fruition in LA.

Such happy-happy people over there.

 

Are you kidding me? Government gone wild, probably just a bunch of no-arm wrinkly b****es that never go to the beech anyway.

still a crappy rule. There's tonnes of room on LA beaches. At Santa Monica you're crowding someone if you're within 100 ft.

FB -- is there a backstory here? My kids tossed the football for much of the summer last yr at Hermosa beach without incident. Why would it be OK to hit a volleyball but not a football or frisbee?

 

no back story. just find the weakest link and make that the standard.

(honestly, I don't know of a back story)

 

Can we keep this on topic? This should not be illegal:



By the way, Google image search "women beach football". Rep me.

 

I don't know of any backstory, and I think the regulation is a horrible idea. I'm against it 100%. I'm often at El Porto, or Manhattan Beach, and sometimes at Zuma as well and have tossed a frisbee at all of them in the past.

I was just merely pointing out that according to libertarian and Paul philosophy it's up to the individual community to make up and enforce their own regulations so I wondered why hightop was upset by it at all.

 

Spoiler

OO la la REP!

 

I guess the beach bowl i annually have with my friends is off

 

As someone who lost an arm after an errant Frisbee throw hit me on the beach - I proudly support this long overdue legislation.

 

They really need a football team.

 

Crap, weird rule and all, this actually has direct impact on my family as we live here. This is just bad rule probably only voted for by the rich beach residents. The rest of us didn't care until it is too late now. Well, the orange county beaches will be more crowded than ever now.

 

This is obviously Obama's fault

 

Do you mean Lebron's fault?

 

I wonder if there are certain groups of people more likely to throw a football than a "beach or volleyball."

 

i wonder if there are certain groups of people more likely to go to the beach

 

Like men?

 

STFU, this is sad. Are you actually wasting time drafting ordinances regarding the throwing of footballs and frisbees. When did this nation become such p*****s. I swear to God, we have to regulate every damn thing that goes on so one fricking person wont sue.
