turtle watch volunteer arrested

[scooterbug44]

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 don't think that she "snapped" - popping a float or cutting a tied/knotted tent rope/strap is the just the most efficient way to disassemble those items.

Inflated float = beach tumbleweed

P.S. We're not hating on tourists or applauding lawlessness - it's more of a "thank gawd, that obnoxious brat finally got a spanking".

Ok, well... maybe she could be the leader of the Most Efficient Redneck Riviera Beach Militia.

beach rage- stressed related problem due to the overcrowding of a beach resort.

The overcrowding I've adjusted to...it's mourning the loss of those idyllic evening strolls on the beach where I could just enjoy the sights and sounds of nature instead of watching out for the person-eating-holes-to-China, weaving in and out of the overnight Gypsy camps; and stooping over every-other-step to pick up trash. (Yeah, at one time it didn't used to be that way--even with plenty of visitors.)

It seems unborn turtles have more support than unborn human beings. Applauding any one who takes the law into thier own hands is dangerous.

haha
Bobby, the first time I read your post above I thought you said-
Your throat could be next!

:shock:

Ha! You never know.

I kind of feel like you today Geo. Like picking a fight. I thought this was a good topic to get heated up on. The Turtle lady attacks! I feel the same way about Cigarette butts. If someone throws a butt out of their car in front of me at a stop sign, I will get out of my car and place the butt back in the drivers car on their lap. Is that illegal or wrong? It sure freaks my wife out.

I see. So popping childrens floats and cutting/slashing the tents of unwanted tourists are part of your covert activities?

...and it appears that inflatable water wings and $69 Walmart tents do as well.

No one said that the tourists were unwanted. Litter, which is habitually left overnight on the beach, is unwanted.
