She just finally did what we all want to do! Most people just talk about what they are going to do or say. Mary is my new hero! Of course, I don't know the whole story and I need a new hero since Hulk has run a muck!

Is anyone here serious about destroying other peoples property being a great way to protect the beach? What is the obsession with tents and kids floats? Is it the family? The kids? Fun at the beach? Not everyone wants to drink pressed grass on a deserted sand dune. The area has been developed, accept it or move on. The county does a reasonable job tagging and removing items. I pick up items every time I am on the beach, but still feel I am mighty lucky to be there. If you really think an item left is a problem the county will definitely remove it if you complain, I have seen it done. What a message this sends to kids to support a ridiculous act like that no matter who did it. If you can't get what you want just go into a rage and destroy things. If this lady did this. I hope the victims will not drop the charges. I doubt the child with the rogue float had a vendetta against the turtles. If this fine lady is so concerned about the turtles, simply move an item if it is left overnight or remind the owner of the law regarding items being left on the beach. This would be a much more effective and friendly approach than what amounts to beach rage.

I'm torn here. Why cut the tents and pop the floats? This makes it seem (to me anyway) that she snapped. Why not just stack them next to the beach access trash can? I get fed up at the sight of tents as well- especially when left overnight. But if the cause is to protect the turtles and clean the beaches then I miss how damaging the items serves the cause. Can someone pls help us get to the bottom?
I have to agree with Pirate, two wrongs do not make a right.
At times it really seems like tourists are not wanted in the area by some. Surely you know what will happened if that is the case, there will be more closings and empty condos than already exist.
Many also forget that a great number of residents were at one time a tourist, very few were born in the area and lived here their entire lives. So when you thumb your nose at the "tourist" many of you were at one time a tourist.
I am all for saving the turtles, the beach, putting things away, we have been coming to the area for over 30 years and have always done our part to protect the beaches and its wildlife.
But seriously how can you expect someone to follow the laws of protecting the beach, when you support breaking other laws such as criminal mischief?
Can we truly be selective in which laws are ok to break.

Sounds like she snapped! I bet there is much more to this story... Protect your children from the evil, turtle, float popping, tent cutting lady! Your float could be next! Ha! What a great story! I bet it gets national attention!
beach rage- stressed related problem due to the overcrowding of a beach resort.
Wait a Minute!!
I thought people were presumed innocent until proven guilty. Noone knows for sure who destoyed property on the beach. How awful for this woman to have her face plastered on this website and everyone talking like she is guilty. I don't know her and I will for sure give her the benefit of the doubt.

The original post shows the pic of the person arrested, describes the charges against her and points out that she denied the allegations. I don't believe this person is being treated unfairly. She seems to have half of the posters elevating her to hero status and the other half speculating why she would do such a thing (if she did) and requesting additional information...
This info is public record...
We acknowledge that she is innocent until proven guilty. But we are still going to talk about her!!!
I am going to buy her a cape!
haha
Bobby, the first time I read your post above I thought you said-
Your throat could be next!
:shock:
