Locals Only Lawsuit braj!!!! NYT piece

"Instead of spending nearly $1,000 over four years to lease a set of behind-the-times boxes, American families will have options to own a device for much less money that will integrate everything they want — including their cable or satellite content, as well as online streaming apps — in one, easier-to-use gadget,"

allowed that Dora had “incredible presence,” but accused him of being congenitally mean-spirited. “He’d irritate the little guy. He’d take a guy’s board, some poor, helpless little guy, then a few days later he’d give it back–after charging him a few bucks.” Most surfers, though, admired Dora, many to the point of zealotry, believing that Dora lied, stole, and scammed because that was the only way a genuine surfing purist could get by

And the skiers who we were sliding with, who we had just met, chased the guy down and shoved him into a snow pile.

A juvenile listed as a Bay Boy appears to be the same teen who recently pleaded guilty to his role in the brutal September beating of a Lunada Bay liquor store owner.


Another defendant, 27-year-old Michael Rae Papayans, pleaded not guilty last week to punching a Mets fan at Dodger Stadium in October, rendering the man unconscious. He also was arrested in January with Backstreet Boy Nick Carter during a bar fight in Florida.

Professor Alu Orange, who studies gang charges at USC, told the L.A. Times that it’s highly unusual for a group of private citizens — rather than a government entity — to seek a gang injunction,” but that it would be refreshing to see it used in a constitutional way, as the Lunada Bay Boys “live in an area where the median income is $170,000 and they can vandalize, assault and batter people, and can do it all under the watchful eye of the police.”

Trucks and equipment used to demolish a stone shelter built by territorial surfers on Lunada Bay in Palos Verdes Estates have been severely vandalized at the work site, authorities said Thursday.

According to police, vandals Tuesday night scratched the paint of several trucks in a staging area, slashed fabric containers used to carry debris and set fire to equipment stored at the structure, including an air compressor used to power jackhammers.

The trucks and equipment were being used by Ampco Contracting Inc., a demolition company that received a $61,000 contract from Palos Verdes Estates to raze the shelter located on Rocky Point adjacent to one of the best big wave spots in California.

City officials have condemned the incident, and police are investigating. No arrests have been made so far, authorities said.
