A young man reported being attacked by a shark Wednesday evening south of Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, though authorities believe the animal “aggressively bumped” him rather than bit him.UPDATE: Maybe it was just a stingray.
It happened around 5:45 p.m. in the water off C Street and Moonlight Lane, according to Encinitas lifeguard Capt. Larry Giles and sheriff’s Lt. Tim Matzkiw. It prompted authorities to post advisory signs a mile north and south of the area warning surfers and swimmers for the next 24 hours about the reported encounter.
The victim, described only as a young man who was surfing or bodyboarding, was taken by medics to Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas with a cut on his foot, Giles said.
The young man reported that a “large” shark circled him, and he possibly kicked the animal, Giles said.

ReplyDeleteReminds me of when big Al Bundy came home from the shoe store and told Peg, "a woman came into the store today that was so fat, she had three smaller women orbiting her".

Newsom and Blakespear suck and are so far left their actions have past to become fascist dictators. Anti - American IMHO.

DeleteThere goes dermont again, trying to get people sick so they buy the covid treatment he is making. Sorry charlie, no one is buying your bullshit profiteering scam. Drug company CEOs are the worst.
DeleteWTF. Not even close to coherent.
Delete7:12 - You are an example of no common sense and no reading comprehension.
ReplyDeletewhere did I mention Trump?
I did not say I respected trump. I do not. You might want to take a walk or a nap to clear your mind. Have a nice day.
Who is paying you?
Delete7:56- What? Go back to bed and try again. You seem to be going delusional.
ReplyDeleteWho is paying me? Well, my mind's well intentioned thoughts pay my body very well by getting out and excerising along the beach. You should try it.
After your much needed nap, take a brisk walk on the beach and better yet. jump into Mother Ocean and let her heal you with her amazing powers.
Have a sweat long nap and a nice day!

ReplyDeleteAttention citizens!
Your Dept. of Pandemonium wishes to announce that in conjunction with Wuhan Development Centre Ltd. and the W.H.O. (Wuhan Health Org) that your Governuisance has backtracked and petulantly asked the ONLY the OC beaches close until summer 2028 or when your neighbors refrain from taking pictures and ratting on neighbors for all things trivial whichever comes 1st.
I'm going to go read the Mueller report for old times sake because, you know, cooooooolushun!
You don't have to look any further than the encinitas city council for the definition of "pandemonium."
ReplyDeleteWas the shark's name Marco?
ReplyDeleteMarco is a muddy mudsucker....
DeleteCurious, it appears that an unhinged individual comprises >90% of the posts
ReplyDeletehere.. What's the point of this site?

DeleteI'd say its the best source of news in Encinitas. This blog the random crap from sketchy freaks and commie bastards, but you also get some rare honest truths. Most people with common sense can take the good information and filter the crap.
What's the point of your post?
This blog is a wonderful echo-chamber for the 3% of Encinitas who are ardent racists and xenophobes. They can spout off their hate here, and they feel like big boys wearing big boy pants.
