Next They'll Ban Apple Pie
 

First they take the Children's pool were I swam as a kid and where my kid first got in the ocean, and give it to the seals.

Then they try and take away our right to fish, which is still a real possiblity.

Then they heard we were still having fun so...

They're taking away the fourth of July!

I shit you not! I'm starting to get a little pissed....

Environmentalist Attorneys Win Independence Day Fireworks Ban in San Diego

Ken Sweeney · May. 31 at 3:20pm

"I don't think La Jolla (Cove fireworks) should happen this year -- or ever," Gonzalez said.

It’s official. Environmentalists (and lawyers) hate America, apple pie, and 4th of July celebrations.

Environmentalists sued the fireworks shows' organizers and the city, contending the permitting process failed to follow the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act. They said the fireworks are shot off next to a marine sanctuary, generating debris that harms sea life.
The ruling potentially means that all organizers of fireworks shows in San Diego will have to file environmental impact reports before receiving city permits. Because of the costs involved, that could put the shows out of business.

WTF?
it just aint right

We need more regulations in the US. Thank you lawyers!! (sarcastic kidding, fn' people!!!!)

Situation Normal...

I'm sure the other coastal cities will be making their bans shortly.

And once the whole state has banned all fireworks displays.... the rest of the country shall follow. Except Texas, of course.

it wont happen.Fireworks are a staple of this country.

our judicial system is filled with liberal/socialist..........taking away the enjoyments of the American public is what they do....

Unreal looking more into this

"Environmentalists are fighting San Diego's plan for a 4th of July fireworks show at the beach, claiming the explosives will frighten and harm the seals, contaminate the water, and that the city's permitting process violates California environmental law."

The seals WIN AGAIN!!!!!:puke::banghead:

What a joke. I am so sick of these kooks. It feels like this state is on it's death bed :goodnight:. Texas and Florida look better by the minute.

Ok I'll play the "commie pinko" devils advocate... :the_finger:

What with southwinds being so common in la jolla, all the toxic gasses and particulates from those pretty fireworks will just go wafting into the prescious waters which we all enjoy. Do we really need couple hundred pounds of sulfur being spread across the most productive fishery in coastal southern california? To demonstrate how grateful and proud we are that our forefathers were able to steal this land and its incredible (albiet dwindling) natural resources? Thats some sweet irony there.

Keep the poison deathclouds in mission bay where they belong. Theres 40 f-ing fireworks shows in san diego, we don't need one right on top of our marine sanctuary.

You must be kind of young. Where are the fireworks stands (in CA) where you can buy fireworks, like when I was young? Gone, the gov't can take away just about anything.

costa mesa, fullerton, FV to name a few...granted you can purchase yet not fire them off.

They stopped doing Fireworks in Monterey after the 07 fourth of July show...i think they claimed it was because of lack of funding but i wouldnt be surprised if all the kook environmentalists at the MB Aquarium had a hand in gettin it stopped like they are tryin to do down south. Hell the DP 4th of july show goes off on a floating barge they bring in just for the show outside the harbor, then less then 3 miles away in SJC there is another show, and then the maybe 7 miles to SC pier is another one.

Couldn't Sea World help out in this case?

Surely they either are not a target or have done a study.

for some reason moving out to China sound better and better..:farmer:

I listened to a bit of Rick Roberts the other day, and he flat out slammed one of the attorneys for this shit, so much so that they tried calling the attorney back and he wouldn't get back on the air...:the_finger:
He even called him out on the air, saying he was sick of these 'ambulance chasers', and that if it bothered the seals so much, they would just move on, find another place to hang out like they've always done.

I just keep flashing back to one of the fun meetings where one of the fos bitches cringed and got dramatic watching a video of a seal going in the water cuz someone was walking on the beach...

Instead of having these wackos be potential candidates for soylent green, I think we should grind them up and chum the waters...

They'll want to replace the fireworks with a laser show and recordings of explosions...

Thank God for Outlaws
----------------------------
Fish in a reserve, club a seal, and smoke a big joint. Its all coming to an end anyway - so whoop it up.

or we will be forced to stay home and enjoy our own fireworks

I love how his shirt changed and the light came back on... Classic!
:luxhello:

I got nothin to add to this:reel:

There are plenty of other things that can be added to the list of what "they" have taken away from us. For example:

Beach fire rings
A glass of wine on the beach at sunset
Beach bar-b-ques
Parking and hiking anywhere you want in the mountains, (without paying a fee)

I suppose we should all be thankful that we live in the the Land of the Free, but with the rapid rate that our personal freedoms are disappearing, I sometimes wonder what that will mean in a few years.

These fireworks idiots are the same animal rights wackos that want to shut down the Children's Pool. The reason they are targeting La Jolla has nothing to do with pollution and everything to do with the seals. The endgame is to ban human's from the children's pool. Today a judge decides if the rope barrier stays up year round. If you have time on the weekends please come and spend some time with the pro-access people on the beach at CP. So far I am the only kayak fisherman helping out the spearos and divers to keep the beach open.
These militant vegan freaks HATE all fishing of every kind and they will be coming for you soon enough if we don't help put a stop to this crap.

We got a lot of people on the beach last weekend which drove the seal activists crazy...
