Station Gossip – April 3, 2020
A paddleboarder was arrested in Malibu Thursday after ignoring lifeguards’ orders to get out of the ocean amid social distancing rules, authorities said.
The lifeguards flagged down deputies for assistance, but the man ultimately chose to stay in the water alongside the Malibu Pier for about 30 to 40 minutes, Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials said in a Facebook post.
Deputies summoned their patrol boat from Marina Del Rey, and the man swam to shore once it arrived, officials said.
He was subsequently arrested on suspicion of disobeying a lifeguard and violating Gov. Gavin Newsom’s stay at home order, a misdemeanor.
He was booked at the sheriff’s station in Calabasas before being released with a notice to appear in court, deputies said.
Officials did not release any identifying information on the man. He could face a $1,000 fine, up to six months in jail, or both.
So far, the state order has not been widely enforced by police agencies, but this isn’t the first time this week a Southern California man has faced consequences for being in the ocean.
According to the Los Angeles Times, a surfer in Manhattan Beach was fined $1,000 last weekend after similarly ignoring repeated orders to exit the ocean.
But it’s unclear how many, if any, other people in the region have been arrested for violating the governor’s order.
Kim Prather, who works at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, told the Los Angeles Times that the beach could be one of the most dangerous places in California amid the outbreak. She said she fears the virus is being washed into the ocean and transferred back into the air along the coast.
“I wouldn’t go in the water if you paid me $1 million right now,” she told the newspaper.

Hemorrhagic Stupiditas is a million times more lethal than “The Virus”!!!
Sadistic Fibrosis is a billion times worse.
Nazi Bastards! And, they sent TWO ~ 20 foot boats from over 21 miles away with probably 6 or more crewmen! sEE THE VIDEO. ARGH!

Wake up California!!!! Your liberal, all inclusive, Democrapic, hive mentality will be the death of us all. How much more are you willing to endure?
The “Golden State”, once a leader and destination for dreams, is being destroyed. Where are all the ecologists, humanists, pro-everything people now? ……Crickets!…Stand up for your personal freedoms now or they too will only be a memory.
Now we certainly do have the lunatics running the asylum.
This shows everyone that anyone in a uniform imposing this crap is a complete ass.
Typical of the FAR LEFT Nazi (NON) DEM’s to let a bit nof power go to their head!
PAPERS PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From above:
“Kim Prather, who works at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, told the Los Angeles Times that the beach could be one of the most dangerous places in California amid the outbreak. She said she fears the virus is being washed into the ocean and transferred back into the air along the coast.”
Can you imagine the level of hemorrhagic stupiditas that it takes to utter such unbelievably ignorant and stupid bullshit?!
Television: weapon of mind destruction!
Woken:
“The “Golden State”, once a leader and destination for dreams, is being destroyed.”
Truth. I was born in SF Bay area, and we lived near sundry Air Bases (father an aerospace engineer) until we moved to Cape Canaveral Florida area ~ 66 for – same reasons.
I also lived there for ! 5-6 years between 78 and 86. That was still true, then. But now, it’s a shame!
Scarily, this point of Woken also appears inevitable: “It was once said, “As California goes, so does the rest of the country” SAD!
That’ll teach him for stashing his gold under the pier. Anyway why couldn’t he just adapt, improvise and use a bathtub for Christ sake they’re only trying to save us by helping themselves first but that’s not the point when nonessential is sticking to your bathtub.
Seriously what would have happened if the North Koreans invaded and essentials had to deal with bathtub boy the NKs might have got in like dyed water gets into chalk. There is a virus struggling to survive out there somewhere this is just establishment covid rescue in action that’s all.
Kim Prather, clearly an affirmative action hire due to her mental retardation, proudly displayed her double-digit IQ by informing everyone the Pacific Ocean is a giant Petri dish for the weaponized, yet drastically over-hyped, glorified cold that is Covid.
“She said she fears the virus is being washed into the ocean” and reemerges, stronger than ever, to wreak untold havoc You know, kinda like Godzilla.
The retard, er I mean “oceanographer”, then proclaimed, “I wouldn’t go in the water if you paid me $1 million right now,” she told the newspaper”. I wouldn’t be in any hurry to go into the Pacific either, not because of the Godzilla flu, but rather because it’s a nuclear stew compliments of Fukushima.
Social distancing!? WTF! He was f*ckin miles away from everyone. Its called “martial law”. This whole covid thing is a fake. You can’t spread/catch a virus. It’s all about installing 5G and blaming it on a virus that doesn’t exist.

Einstein was spot on.
