Two men were taken to Scripps La Jolla Trauma Center after Encinitas lifeguards and firefighters rescued one man off of a bluff around E Street and another man who had fallen 75 to 100 feet down to the beach below.
Both have sustained moderate injuries, according to a press release.
Emergency crews and lifeguards discovered the first man on the beach shortly after 1 p.m. and were tending to him when they spotted the second man on the side of the bluff, according to Joint Fire Management Services Battalion Chief Robbie Ford.
According to a press release, Sheriff’s deputies said the two males were playing Pokémon GO on their cell phones, when they went over the side to retrieve “prizes.”

ReplyDeleteSo that is what the city council has been playing!
ReplyDeleteI work a block from where they fell off, and these dudes were tripping balls. They might have been playing Pokemon, but they were high as fuck too.
ReplyDeleteAre these recent stories of drug-induced stupidity, stabbings and petty theft the type of "vibrancy" that our local politicians support in our formerly family-friendly city? What are people thinking!!
ReplyDeleteI think they should have to pay for whatever it cost for the Sheriff and medical team to help them out. Sick of this crap!
ReplyDeleteDoubt that Beavis & Butthead here have a lot of income.
DeleteCheck out the new planning commissioner for New Encinitas. You can see his bio and what he sells on Encinitas Votes. Not sure how he can be objective, since he sells land for a living.
ReplyDeleteWho would you have voted for, since all of the applicants work in real estate?
