Officials Attempt to Stop Wounded Warriors from Surfing on Veteran’s Day- Over Facebook Post

http://thefreethoughtproject.com/state-park-attempts-throw-wounded-warriors-beach-veterans-day-facebook-post/

As America celebrated its veterans this past Tuesday, officials in Solana Beach were busy harassing Wounded Warriors, reportedly because they had posted the event on Facebook and had not obtained a permit.

The 25 volunteers and the veterans were told to pack up their American flags and leave the beach, Joel Tudor told Fox5.

The Veteran’s Day event was organized by Operation Amped, a non-profit that aims to “share the ‘stoke’ of the surfing community and the healing potential of surfing with seriously ill, injured, or disabled U.S. military veterans and their families.”...

During the event Joel Tudor, a respected professional surfer, took to Instagram to vent about a state park official who had arrived to shut down the gathering due to these wounded warriors not having a permit. Note the prosthetic leg standing between the official and the event organizer.

attitudes down there.

Now Solana Beach may be different, dont know.

Doubt it, but since I dont know I wont say.

I dont know why cops would do this unless they were responding to an overall attitude of the citizens there that they dont like anybody doing anything ever unless they are the ones doing it

Some people cannot live unless they can say "No!" all day long.

Even to our veterans.

How low and sorry can Solana Beach officials go? The cops where I live would shut the little local beach down for veterans if they wanted it. No permit needed.


SHAME on you Solana Beach.

what I want to know is why in the HELL do we need to raise charity to help our veterans?

Which political party does NOT want to increase taxes to take care of them?

that ALWAYS turns down requests for more for our service members. It does not compute with conservatives. They are sick people who are allergic to the truth.

They are so brainwashed, you can show them VIDEO and show them roll calls of votes and they STILL refuse to believe they are the ones voting for and supporting soldier stabbers.

Because that's what they are when they refuse to help the vets whom THEY send into war: soldier stabbers.

Most republicans will call them losers or whiners if they have PTSD

Now, my favorite though is a republican Veteran who is getting a huge monthly check for life for PTSD who hates Obama

OBAMA is the one who gave him the check...

It's so sad.

Gotta give FUX news credit, they have singlehandedly destroyed people's common sense by appealing to their hatred.

You can't fight their bejillion dollar propaganda machine.

But what a cost, this loss.

It's a fucking state park. It is not private property of these veterans. They are not exempt from rules that would apply to you or me.

about a hundred surfers use it every day. The "official" is used because of cuts, but he can only collect parking fees. Del Mar is the park, tyrannical and brutal with fines, but that is south of Solana Beach
