Thousands gathered Wednesday evening at Moonlight State Beach in Encinitas for a paddle out to celebrate George Floyd’s life and take a stand for change.
Lifeguards estimate anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 people took part in the powerful demonstration.
Before the paddle out began there was a long moment of silence: eight minutes and 46 seconds, the amount of time Floyd was held down for before dying. X Games host and former Encinitas resident Sal Masekela recited some of Floyd’s final words during the moment of silence.

99 percent of these idiots have no clue the dead guy was loaded, shop lifting, trying to pass off counterfeit money and resisting arrest, oh' and an ex-con. A true stand up all around good citizen. You fools
ReplyDelete^^This is an excellent example of the average EU denizen.
DeleteHere is a typical example of the fools. Not one of you countered my writings of the dead criminal. Darn that truth always getting in the way of leftists feelings.
DeleteThat's right, paddle around in the ocean for a criminal.
beats the shit out of voting for one
Delete10:28- sticking to the script
DeleteLie about critical facts
Smear the victim, and lie in the process

6:39 - Clueless and it sounds like you are part of the reason for the need for the event.
ReplyDeleteThe event was Amazing and Thank YOU ALL who organized it and all who attended. I wish I could have gone, but I was there in spirit. You did Encinitas Proud!!
Its time to get your knee off of my neck and it is the right time and season for this much needed change.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the coming change. I welcome it. We can be a much better America!!
@salmasekela - Wow, just wow. So much thanks and you are amazing. Thank you.
One Love and Unity!
Did everyone at the paddle out say that George Floyd had drugs in body, passed a fake bill and was an ex con but he deserved the highest honor the surfers could give him. Sorta takes the shine off of any other paddle outs in the future.

"I’m moved by the motivated, peaceful passion for racial justice demonstrated at the Encinitas “paddle-out” last night from Moonlight Beach."
Did Mayor Blakespear tell her children and say at the paddle out that George Floyd had drugs in body, passed a fake bill and was an ex con but he deserved the highest honor the surfers could give him. Will all the other parents tell their children?
Well that is not unusual. 1/3 of the economy is tied to the pharm industry. MD/PHarm is huge business. https://hpi.georgetown.edu/rxdrugs/#:~:text=More%20than%20131%20million%20people,and%20those%20with%20chronic%20conditions.
DeleteMore than 131 million people — 66 percent of all adults in the United States — use prescription drugs. Utilization is particularly high for older people and those with chronic conditions.
Of course he has some drugs in his system. probability says you do too. Did you have a beer today or coffee?
What type of drug did Mr. Floyd have in his system that you are calling him out as a criminal?
Please explain his criminal record. Otherwise you just seem like part of the problem. Prejudice suck! and I find it hard to have love for such shallow minds.
Mayor Blakespear and Councilwoman Kellie Hinze honored George Floyd, a black man who broke into a pregnant black woman's home, demanded money, and pointed a gun at her stomach. Does the council plan to give George Floyd a presentation at the council meeting.
DeleteHe should have never died that way. Would this arrest have put him back in prison?
ReplyDeleteWhat are the chances they’ll kneel on Roger Stones neck for eight minutes when they take
ReplyDeletehim into custody? Answer: zero. That’s white privilege.
Roger Stone will never go to jail.That's white privilege.
DeleteI would argue that the way Roger Stone is taken into custody is an example of white privilege. However, he never going to jail is an example of the privilege of the wealthy and well connected.
DeleteApparently you know nothings didn't watch as the FBI raided Stones house just after sunrise, cuffed him and placed him in a car and took the 70 something year old man away. Agents going thru his house and office.
DeleteYou leftist buffoons. Get the facts, then write
Did I miss the part where you claim that law enforcement murdered Stone in the street?
DeleteRoger Stone is a convicted criminal who was given due process in a court room in front of a jury of his peers. He posted a photo of the judge overseeing his case with gun crosshairs on her head—and didn’t get any additional charges for that.
What do you think would happen to a young black man in the south who does that same thing (assuming he lives long enough to make it to a court room)?
12:01 - I would guess a no-knock warrant, followed by shooting his dog and girlfriend.
Delete11:34 -
Delete"70 something year old man"
"Get the facts, then write"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Agreed. How about Trump, Bill Clinton, Biden and George Bush when they are finally charged and sentenced with their past rape crimes?
ReplyDeleteOh wait - Does the me too movement stop at the top level?
My bad, the top level is above the law right? They have their knee on America's neck!!
And you, are sitting on your brain
Delete11:36- Amazing info. Thanks!

I see you are calling for violence against public figures, including former Presidents. Enjoy your visit from the Secret Service.
DeleteIt's interesting how this post gets to stay, but if you label this blog racist, they always get deleted.
I'm not sure where you got that, but I am not calling for violence against anyone.
DeleteYou are twisted 12:40pm . Watch all the videos on the mentioned. All points are documented. What are you talking about about? Freedom of speach is the no. 1 testament of America. You seem to be missing the point.
The point is if you are guilty of raping a woman, you should be held accountable.
Lets do a congratulatory paddle out for all those folks of high character than were staying 6 feet apart while they were looting businesses. They most certainly deserve accolades,
ReplyDeleteYou are clearly missing the point. Sorry.
DeleteAnd way to go Mayors for cutting the budgets of the police departments. That will most certainly make it easy breezy for those of high character to loot more businesses. What a great time to be alive!
ReplyDeleteThe cops are already over-funded. Their budgets should be cut, and the funds invested in the communities.
DeleteHave you seen the video-game armor the cops get to wear when they play dress-up? Now compare that to our medical professionals who don't have access to proper PPE.
Hopefully your shop will be the one of the ones where the cops pass on by to protet the respectful neighbors shop as looters scrump the loot and break your windows. It's only fair. Riots and looting are constitutional rights for democrats right?
ReplyDeleteYet another person on this blog who has fallen prey to a fallacy. In this case, the slippery slope. In this fallacy, a person makes a claim that one event leads to another event and so on until we come to some awful conclusion.
DeleteI award you, THE UNSOUND ARGUMENT PRIZE!
A sip of water can lead to a gulp, and then guzzling and eventually waterboarding and death.
DeleteErgo, a sip of water is a terrible and deadly thing. If you enourage others to have a sip of water, you are basically a murderer.
Laziest form of argument on Earth.
3:12 Just make your posts more simple. White people good... Black people bad.
DeleteRemember it's ok to loot the stores as long as 10 guys at a time only remaining 6 feet apart ok boomers?
ReplyDeleteOK stupid.
DeleteAnd for you fools that think the dead drugged up thief is worth remembering. Remember this, not one of you knows the name of one service member killed overseas in 2020. You frauds.
ReplyDeletePaddle out in the ocean for a criminal...what a bunch of losers.
Stretch. Yawn... oh yeah, lets solute invading the world. That always works out great. How did Viet Nam,Afghanistan, and Iraq work our for us? Victory right? Dandy. Yeah, you are making a great point. Thanks!!
DeleteCouldn't agree more with 4:52 !!
DeleteThats what the bootlickers signed up for, to possibly die for US corporations that don’t pay taxes.
DeleteHow come every body is anonymous? If you have an oppinion. Don't you have the balls to be your name? Good to see someone protesting the ripp off policing if America. RIP George Floyd
ReplyDeleteMost people who post here are ignorant and immature, so they don't want to reveal their names.
Deletebecause we are local. We prefer to speak or minds but do not want to the City to pursue backlash for speaking up. Its has been very common in Encinitas.
ReplyDeleteJeb Bush Wonders Why Republicans Are Not ‘Stepping Up’ To Condemn Racism
ReplyDeleteOh, Jeb. Let’s not pretend to be naive. We both know exactly why. And so do the readers of EU, right boys?

Lindsay Graham says that his Master Trump is "misunderstood". Trump is a man of the people - whatever race, color or creed. He is getting the extermination camps ready for them - SEIG HEIL.
ReplyDeleteInteresting comment 7:53 -
ReplyDeletePresidential choices look great. We have the current orange failure and a dementia candidate who thinks its OK to pin girls to walls and stick his fingers up their privates.
Where is the me too movement on this one? Are democrats exempt from criminal behavior? We know from Bill's antics that bill and his loving faithful wife hillary thing women's rape is OK. Where did this acceptance of the women's rape in the democratic party come from?
This aint cool. America. We have to speak up for women's rights not to be raped. That is a bigger priority that getting a dementia candidate into the president's office.
Even if you accept at face value, the score is one sexual assault to 17.
Delete8:47 - That we know of at this point. My point is there has to be much better candidates. Unless a good candidate comes forward, please join me in electing Elon Musk as President.
ReplyDeleteA write in for Elon is the best path forward at this point.
“It is not true,” Biden said. “I am saying unequivocally it never, never happened, and it didn’t. It never happened.”
Interviewer Mika Brzezinski quoted Biden’s past statements that women who come forward alleging sexual assault should be believed.
https://time.com/5831100/joe-biden-tara-reade-allegation/
Biden's response sounds a lot like Bill Cosby's early response. In the end, Biden will simply say he can not really remember. Which may be true because he is well into dementia. But just because he can not remember doesn't mean it did not happen and he should not be sentenced for his crimes.
Please join me in finding another candidate or writing in Elon Musk.
This is really scary to think either of these two could be elected. We need better.
DeleteOn Monday, he said if Biden is elected, “They are going to put him in a home and other people are going to be running the country.”
While I can not stand this guy, I have to agree. We are in big time trouble.

Women deserve to have their accusations aired and taken seriously. That’s not to say we should abandon all scrutiny. Tara Reade has a very colorful past, and has told many different stories over time. She claims to have filled a compliant with the Senate outside the control of the Biden office. The National Archives has no record of it, and neither does Ms. Reade.
DeleteContext and credibility of any witness matters.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/31/us/politics/tara-reade-joe-biden.html
Elon Musk was born in South Africa. To be eligible for the US presidency, individuals must be born here.
DeleteElon Musk is eccentrically crazy. He is all over the map - Sanders or Warren had the best plans for reforming this critically wounded government.
DeleteDefund the Pensions!
ReplyDeleteAll of them!
The pensions are the biggest red ink rip off in this city's budget. $200K to $250K average for cheesy civil service jobs! A gardener works harder than these people!
Delete4 years ago I went to city hall to acquire a permit, the city staff was having a halloween party. Yes it's true, a gardener works harder than city staff.
DeleteJune 6, 1944. Largest Antifa operation in history. Never forget.
ReplyDeleteTruth.
DeleteOn this anniversary, I will raise my glass tonight.
DeleteBoy. People are so hypersensitive. What’s wrong with a Trump campaign official promoting a video of a racist threatening peaceful protesters with a chainsaw while yelling the N-word at them?

In other racist GOP news, a Texas GOP leader posted an MLK quote juxtaposed with the image of a banana, because, you know, black people are like monkeys.

Uggg,
ReplyDeleteNation, State and Town all in the dumper as far a bad leaders. I do not think we could have worse leaders?
Anyone But Trump, ABT
Anyone But Newsom, ABN and
Anyone But Catherine, ABC
Yes I attended the paddle out, now where should I tell George Soros to send my check?
ReplyDeleteG-Dawg only pays cash so as to avoid a paper trail that could prove the existence of the paid protestor conspiracy.
DeleteI left a paper bag of cash on your doorstep minutes ago. Please confirm you got it.
I am white and was almost lynched by people in this town (including lifeguards and sheriff dept.) for reasons completely unknown. Do you honestly expect me to believe most people here give a rip about human or civil rights? What a joke! The people who really do are the targets.
Deletei aM wHiTE aNd WaS aLmOSt lYNchED . . .
DeleteNo, sparky. You weren’t. Sorry. If this is a story you tell at parties, you need to stop.
Floyd situation is a red herring. The people who are being abused the most and have no voice right now locally and nationally are victims of human trafficking, satanic ritual abuse, and those who have lost all privacy, including their own thoughts, do to widespread abuse of surveillance tech and AI algorithms by purely evil people. The victims are of every race and so are the perpetrators.
DeleteI think this is great. Summer is here, we do not have to work ever again, and life is good.
ReplyDeleteHave Gov. Can you please kick up the printing press and send me another $10k please this month. Actually, just make it $50k to each citizens and visitor to the USA to hold us over for the next five months. I love this, they should have thought of it sooner.
No need for taxes anymore, just print more money. Its much less painful.
White people, what a bunch of fools. Watch Candice Owens on youtube talk about the dead ex-con criminal george floyd.
ReplyDeleteA total loser on drugs, stealing and resisting arrest.
You fools
Yeah fuck em, kill him. Last time he ever ever passes off a real $20 bill as a fake one. We should kill fools that harass homeless people and lie about who they work for too.
DeleteWhy isn't anyone else complaining. The Asians, the Mexicans, the Arabs...Nope. They are too busy WORKING for a living.
ReplyDeleteBut the others, they are always the victims. I'm sick of it.
Get a JOB, shut up, pay your taxes instead of taking tax money and live like the rest of us. Always a problem, will always be a problem, will always be the victims.
Here is a challenge for you bleeding heart children in adult bodies. Go live in a black area of any major city, get back to us how that worked out. Oh' trust me, you'll have your mind changed real quick.
It is odd the black community isn't overly concerned about the black on black violence in the inner cities. Chicago has something like 20 homicides on a weekend alone. That isn't even reported on the national news wire anymore. No protests, Al Sharpton doesn't show up and life goes on. A rogue cop murders a black and all hell breaks loose. What is the middle ground here? Let's tally numbers and see where the problems lie, and try to resolve them in a reasonable fashion.
DeleteYou forget that many blacks are people from other countries that were forced to come her to work as slaves. Imagine if your family was taken and dropped off in another country where you did not know the language or culture and were forced to slave for another. Both the blacks and American Indians were enslaved and taken from their culture, family, and belongings against their will. How would you manage if that happened to you?
DeleteYou mean the ghettos that systemic racism created to keep black people separated from the whites? Like California’s housing policies for example?
Delete10:25 Huh? What the ---- are you writing about?
Deletegive us just one example....just one
I bought my house in Encinitas in 1981.When we looked at all the historic paperwork on the property we discovered that at the time the house was built it was not allowed to sell to non-whites.
DeleteLook at the date on the document. You wrote it yourself, "historic". That does not apply to when you bought your house and certainly NOT now. It's 2020, try and get out of the past, stop living in the past.
Delete12:39 developers are legally allowed to re-assign their affordable housing allotment to another location. That locations is where all the affordable housing ends up, i.e ghetto. Plenty more examples, just a google search away. I suggest looking up california gentrification as well.
DeleteSo what 5:34. Show me one ghetto in San Diego. Plus, if transference of address' for low income housing is law then the left did it. They have been in power in California for a long time. Proving once again, everything the left does they ruin.
Delete2:03 PM Despite your nit picking, when we bought our house it 1981, the original 1963 deed, when the house was built, clearly stated that no minorities were allowed to live in Seaside Annex in Encinitas. Don't know when it changed, but it is history and shameful.
Delete8:19 You might want to re-write your first sentence. In fact a total re-write is needed.
ReplyDeleteThe issues are being blown out of proportion. Where is the indignation about the 20 or more homicides every weekend in the hood of Chicago? Not a peep from Reverend Al about that. Is there a difference between the violence that makes it "normal"?
ReplyDeleteohhh' the left doesn't want anyone to know that. Hundreds of murders in 2019 in black areas doesn't fit the "we are the only ones that can help you" scenario from the hapless left.
DeleteJust last weekend 18 black murders. Almost 500 in the year 2019. But facts are not helpful to the left. And yet, the fools keep voting for them, for decades.
When you re so deep into a stupid two party system, you come off as only hating the other party, then the masters have done their deed. Control the masses.
ReplyDeleteYou have fallen straight into their game. "That GOP is so evil.""No it's not, those Democrats are screwing everything up.".... Perfect keep them focused on the game, not what's going on behind the curtain.
PS- Stay inside there is a nasty virus out there that will kill many many people. Like this one lady in Kansas who was 106 and had severe dementia, and stage 4 liver cancer, well the rumor has it there was a visitor to her nursing home, and two weeks later she came down with the COVID and it KILLED HER. That poor lady was KILLED by others not staying indoors. Poor old lady.
Now stay at home, I TELL YOU. NOW HEAR THIS!!!

Looting? Riots? Really? Come on, people. In reality, those are more accurately defined as under-served citizen's instant discount justice events.
ReplyDeleteI went down on both knees to honor Boy George and Pink Floyd

Why did Mayor Blakespear and Councilwoman Kellie Shay Hinze become speakers at the Cardiff Kook protest? George Floyd shouldn't have died under the police hold. But why did Blakespear and Hinze ignore what Floyd did to a pregnant woman. He broke into her house demanding money and pointed a gun at her stomach. He seemed to have no thought or caring for the mother or the unborn child. He served 5 years in prison and for Mayor Blakespear and Councilwoman Hinze his robbery act didn't mean anything to them. They continue to applaud him.
ReplyDeleteWHY? It's because dumb white people are a clueless lot. Floyd was criminal and I'm supposed to feel sorry he is dead? NOPE. I think not.
DeleteWhy isn't it reported each weekend all the blacks that kill one another in Chitcago? Hmmm? It's because whites didn't do the killing, that's why. You gullible fools.
Wake up and stop being the fool. How many unarmed whites were killed by police in 2019...give up? 19. Why weren't you marching around in circles with your little signs making dopes of yourselves. Look around you, wake up and stop pretending you care about Floyd, the criminal who was high on drugs, stealing and trying to pass counterfeit money. He was a loser and you dopes will fall for anything.
