Guess what? I'm responsible for my own words and deeds, not Uhlfelder's or "sniper guy"'s. But, good job of deflecting...
Sounds like you’re trying to distance yourself from them?

BTW, I had to notice Teresa’s big red X on my last post. I’ve reread my post and for the life of me can’t figure out what part she can possibly disagree with.

David Rauschkolb and Daniel Uhlfelder have been very effective with spreading this falsehood of Mike Huckabee purchasing the “public beach in front of his property for $400.”

Take a watch - unbelievable. Who the hell are The Young Turks? Again proving exactly what Reggie was claiming in his first post. I think it’s time CU proponents start denouncing obvious propaganda like this. Oh, that’s right, nobody will denounce the Nazi card. Just dreamin’.

It’s quite an interesting exhibition of the human stain as this story plays out. My original post was a a direct statement designed to spark discussion. It was simultaneously predictive, provocative, and quite factual. The premise has proved to be accurate. A premonition? Frighteningly so. Just look at this weekend’s destructive developments. The CU mob has yet again overstepped the law, the truth, the bar, any sense of human decency, and certainly any resemblance of the southern class of the old 30A. Gone is the charm. Permanent is the stain. Gone is the 30A legacy. Embedded is the disgusting entitlement, socialist, and false prophet constituency. Facts be damned, emotional victim mentality be the rule. The blind sheep will march right off of the cliff. And the ruins shall be well deserved. Hoka Hey beach warriors. March on. Your coveting cause is blinding you to the exploitation of your legacy. And so it goes.

I wrote this last week before the previous posts/observations about this thread.
As I read over from the beginning of the thread “Customary Use Will Destroy Our 30A Legacy” I’m struck by how unverified opinions and beliefs in online forums, not-so social media, social media “influencers”, and partisan “news” influences people’s behavior and actions. We can all have an opinion but you are not entitled to your own facts as the old saying goes.

When it comes to important matters I “believe” in critical thinking, an empirical scientific method approach and fact based evidence rule of law as a bases of making decisions, forming conclusions based on facts. Political Science is “a social science which deals with systems of governance, and the analysis of political activities, political thoughts, and political behavior.” One thing about the Scientific Method is results are not based on human emotion and is >self correcting<. If the evidence does not support your hypothesis or results can not be repeated; you make a different conclusion or make a different hypothesis. Politics are beliefs how we all should act or behave, which laws are right or best for the governed as a Nation. Democracy or Communism, Capitalism or Socialism, are political beliefs and laws result from these political beliefs. The Declaration of Independence and US Constitution are laws of America based on political beliefs that Americans were willing to fight a physical war of independence because they rejected the imperial rule and laws of an ancient English king and aristocracy in a land smaller than the state of Alabama!

What struck me as I read this thread was how in other parts of the world more extreme beliefs based on unverified opinions as facts in not-so social media have had tragic results. Let me make clear that I’m not comparing or implying that anyone who does not support private property rights would behave like some have in the largest democratic country in the world, India, or other parts of the world but are examples of how misuse of not-so social media can go.

Is the blurring of opinion and belief as fact in anti-social media helpful? Or should we teach and use “critical thinking” skills and look at legal records and verifiable facts? Or do the Ends Justify the Means? If you believe it and influence enough people to follow along, majority rules over minority rights, because it is expedient and beneficial to the majority regardless of the facts and law?

Is social media misinformation just personal “beliefs” or dirty politics or both? Are these social media beliefs and property rights misinformation helping anyone locally? Or will partisan social media beliefs and old school “news” media baseless misinformation result in; destruction of private property, staged unlawful protests, hoaxes for media attention, voodoo economic Dead Zones predictions, bizarre active shooter video on the beach, baseless police reports, nude beach protests? This is while the courts are in session to hear the facts of public recreational customary use of private property on 1,200 private property parcels and 4,600+ property owners.

Public customary use of private property is an old English common law doctrine. Not a political doctrine or economic doctrine. Those two doctrines are the political Why to litigate public customary use of private property. The courts will/should rule only on the law and the legal ancient English, not American, many custom criteria, that many property owners feel is “repugnant”, to use an old English legal customary use term, to the US Constitution or at least we will soon find out. Hopefully we can think critically and learn from the rest of the world’s use of social media in making decisions and forming beliefs and behave civilly. What if private property rights prevail in court? What’s next in the internet public square?

Sometimes you just gotta lay down on the beach in the warm sun and relax.

Where do you think I was when I wrote those observations? Enjoying and relaxing on our own quiet private beachfront our family has used and chosen to share with many for many decades. But if property rights prevail in court - I'll reconsider. You can thank the Walton Commissioners and anti-social media for that.

On Sunday, local FLORIDA BEACHES FOR ALL attorney, Daniel Uhlfelder, dropped what he was in the middle of during his holiday weekend and raced down the hiway miles away to interview a tourist whom he heard was unhappy to find out that not all beaches are public.

Uhlfelder now brags that his videos he has plastered all over social media have over 40,000 views.

At the end of the interview, all he could do was tell the day-tripper: "I'm sorry. yeah. I'm sorry.... yeah I'm sorry."

Why didn't he invite the day tripper back to his own private beach at Watersound?

Now that actually would have been something to brag about.

FACT: A beach front owner emailed the county commissioners and county attorney several months ago citing very specific concerns regarding customary use. ON THE SAME DAY, David Rauschkolb responds directly to this email. IOW Dave R immediately obtained this email without having to lift a finger from someone at the county, purposefully and for obvious reasons.

CONJECTURE: Could somebody at the Sheriff’s department be forwarding real-time trespassing complaints to Daniel Uhlfelder for the purpose of generating propaganda?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Correction: I meant Daniel Uhlfelder could have and should have invited the day tripper to HIS private beach at *WATERCOLOR*.

Wait! What? Those two home bases of Watercolor and Watersound are private beach? You must be part of their "Boojee Cub" to touch their sand? They don't allow access to lowly Walton County locals, tax paying residents? They don't "share their beach"? They don't practice "beaches for all"? No one, not even prominent, social media star residents that live there, have demonstrated, filmed shaming videos, engaged in sit ins on either one of those beaches? They haven't posted videos of victimized homeowners on their beaches, or pictures of the multi million dollar homes there? I wonder how those Watersound and Watercolor neighbors would feel if we publicly organized an all out assault on their elitist, greedy, thieving, illegal, immoral, evil ways of keeping us off of our "God given" beaches because they think that they OWN them? Let's ponder that for a minute.........
