I knew it!

Reaction bite, reaction comments, reaction fishing ban. I had read a while back that GW's are mainly fish eaters until they reach around 10', then they switch to mammals (and human flesh). That was from memory and the internet, for what it's worth. I had heard the guy that got bit, on a talk radio show yesterday. He had no health insurance and wanted to know who was going to pay his medical bills. He said the fisherman were agitating the shark and caused the fish to bite him. Very angry at the people who where laughing on the U tube video. I haven't seen it. He takes no responsibility for putting himself in the Pacific Ocean, or swimming near a pier. I think this story will be around for while, and the truth may finally get out after all the sensational BS is played out. Next headline, "Man sues Fisherman, Manhattan Beach, DFW, State of California, and the Pacific Ocean.

Such a clusterfu[k.

Grabbed this off TV but can't find an audio file host so I'll transcribe:
This guy was labeled as a PETA spokesperson. You have to laugh. You'd think they'd find someone less than an ignorant idiot as a spokesperson.

"A 60-day ban is going to keep people safe for the time being, but over the long term, there's only one way to keep sharks out of these shallow waters, and that's by banning fishing altogether. If we start fishing again in September, the sharks are only going to come back."

Ay caramba!
It is so obviously not a public safety issue. I bet more stitches were given statewide to surfer injuries over the 4th holiday than were given all year in CA for shark bites.

BREAKING NEWS
A shark was just struck by a truck on the 5 freeway North of San Diego.
It is reported that a male shark was hit and killed by a Toyota Tacoma while he was crossing the southbound lanes.
Per the Mayor, the 5 freeway will now be completely closed to all traffic going North and South for the next 60 days until it is determined that it is completely safe for sharks to cross the freeway.
A spokes dick for the animal rights group PETA has called for an immediate permanent closure of the freeway, swift legal action against Toyota, and the slow painful death of the driver of the Tacoma.
Story developing.

These people's stupidity amazes me!!!
They are the same ass$oles who would drive their kid to a sleepover at Michael Jackson's house and then cry and complain when their kid comes home smelling like Jesus juice and walking funny.
IDIOTS!
As for PETA........... I know that they don't like meat but the whole lot of them can BITE ME!!!.

This is not entirely correct; sharks did not exist at all until people started fishing.

And the number of Siberian tiger attacks on the beach is nonexistent w the pier fishing ban.

I think this is just a tragic accident, and no one is to blame. There should be a swimming ban for at least a year.

The "victim" is wondering who is going to pay his medical bills?
He should have signed up for Obama care...
Now the other taxman will pay him a visit next April.

It figures, a LAND SHARK tells the swimmer he has a case against the fisherman, the city, state and the ocean. Swimmer can't take personal responsibility, because that's what the LAND SHARKS have taught us. So it's everyone elses fault, except the OCEAN SHARK. Hey it's called PROFFESSIONAL CURTESY!
