Someone found the 48-year-old man lying on the ground in a bike lane on South Coast Highway near Ocean Street and called 911 around 12:07 a.m., sheriff’s Lt. Zheath Sanchez said. A bike was found nearby. Deputies and paramedics attempted life-saving measures, but the man died before he could be taken to a hospital.There was no evidence of a collision with a vehicle, but perhaps a collision with Blakespear's lane barriers?
The bicyclist has been identified as 48-year-old Ryan Currie of Encinitas, according to a news release. An initial investigation has revealed Currie was riding northbound along the east side of S. Coast Highway in the protected bicycle lane on an Electra Townie bicycle.
Ocean Street is the north end of Solana Beach, but the protected bicycle lane starts north of there, across from Cardiff State Beach.
This hurts. I'm so sad about this. Thanks for sharing. RIP Brother. 🙏
ReplyDeleteWhere do we sign up for more lectures on bike safety from the guy who rides without a helmet?
ReplyDeleteAnother horrific stain on our city council and it’s bad decisions Marco, of course, wants to double down and take the travel lanes from 4 to 2 on that stretch.
ReplyDeleteLet’s keep taking lanes and adding people. Glad Marco is a sidecar clown instead of a council clown, because these bad ideas continue to be bad and we’re now seeing the outcomes of progressive policies.
This city is sadly fucked.

DeleteJust watched the replay. Olympic cyclist Shaun Wallace said what had to be said including how Jeremy Blakespear was the "architect" of the deadly cycle trap. Kellie had her usual blank stare on and Kranz yes called in reinforcements. Notably missing was Gonzalez to chastise Wallace and blame Mr. Currie. Sincerely hoping as a taxpayer that the city loses its shirt on this one. Too many warnings ignored by the detached and arrogant council members Blakespear-Kranz-Hinze-Lyndes-Mosca to say this couldn't have been avoided.

# me too, except for politically connected families that support the BIA regime.
Gonzalez on FB: "It's very clear we have a need and desire for more pedestrian and cycling infrastructure in this town. NO. It's clear Blakespear, Kranz, and those who make their excuses and prop them up create such fake news and, Goebbels-like, repeat it enough times to get people to believe it.
ReplyDeleteAlso "It's time to narrow South Coast Highway 101 to two lanes of automobile traffic and widen the multi-modal paths." Multi modal first of all who speaks like that and second in reality it mixes scooters, ebikes, peds, skateboarders, dog walkers into one height of stupidity mess. No oversight no enforcements just promises it'll work. Yah.
it’ll be more accurate say, BIA let her pet gimp out of the closet to design bike lane improvements.
DeleteThe Cardiff Gimp fucked it all up, and the city council led by the only two people that were elected, BIA and Kranz did not believe the actual bike riders, but listened to the gimp.
so what this shows is we have a town that’s lead by a really stupid BIA puppet , and The Town Dunce that really enjoys family vacations to Israel paid for by other parties and both are listening to a gimp regarding design issues.

ReplyDeletePhony better suggest they raise the sales tax increase 26 % to a 2% boost to 9.75% for everything that Encinitas residents buy.
ReplyDeleteThe list of lawsuits and payouts is not looking good for Encinitas.
Roberta Walker, sharrow mow down - City installed- $11,000,000.00 payout in lawsuit.
City installed faulty, bike, land design Leucadia Boulevard- Dr. Worley died in bad design- The City is trying to bury the issue like Dr. Worley, but compensation with the wrongful death has to exceed- $20,000,000.00.
And now we have the long list of lawsuits and pain and suffering on S. HWY 101 estimated over $40,000,000.00. I feel horrible for the children that are left with no parents.
Then future pain suffering death at known door zone on N. Coast Highway, 101 southbound at Leucadia Boulevard-
1st one $20,000,000.00.
And now we have the unbelievable crappy design that’s being built in front of SDA, estimated payout on that project within the first year at over $20,000,000.00.
I’ll put this one low because we know this city does not have this kind of money.
The city better get some for sale signs up on its property while prices are still good.
With the pending huge 26% sales tax increase and Phony giving away all of existing residents assets to the homeless, prices in Encinitas will not stay up with Solana Beach and Carlsbad.
With all these bad decisions it’s probable the State will need to get involved, like it did with the city of , and figure out how to pay for all of these liabilities and lawsuits. Maybe the state will start taxing the homeless to pay for all the debts on bikes, and Encinitas? it will likely start by offloading all of the cities assets, which are mainly property.
The huge 26% increase in sales tax will have a direct impact on those who own property in Encinitas.
if you voted for Kranz, you caused this mess. Own it.

ReplyDeleteI’m as confident in that statement as I am stupid.
6:12- You are stupid. You sound about like that victim mentality - Phony
DeleteYour comments completely irrelevant. People die of drug overdoses as well.
But we’re talking about making poor decisions that lead to peoples death. in this case, the poor decision to approve a faulty bike design is leading to great harm and death.
to recap, you are stupid.
It’s amazing how you figured out the cause of death when the police investigators with access to all the evidence could not.
DeleteYou are very special.
Just like mommy always said.
6:26 how you feel about Walker's accident where she claimed to have been "confused" by the sharrows markers she advocated for? $11M payout there ok by you? Dr. Jennings where the city immediately removed the bollards after his death? Why would they do that if the design was just fine and dandy? Why would they not defend instead of pay on his lawsuit if there was no blame on the city's side?
DeleteLet's hear it because right now you're not making sense.
Sharrows don’t change anything. They are simply a reminder to drivers that the law allows cyclists to take the lane. That right exists whether there’s a painted reminder or not. They have zero effect on traffic laws.
DeleteThe settlement in that case was not about sharrows, it was about the fact that the city had a long, documented history of knowing that the road design was unsafe for cyclists. They had a plan for decades to update the roadway (Streetscape) but they failed to implement it, so the dangerous condition persisted without remedy for far too long. So yes, on that basis, the settlement was justified.
As to Woodley, the housing development at that location changed the traffic conditions. The city was too slow to recognize the need for a turn lane for traffic entering the development. I don’t ascribe any malice or evil intent on the part of the city. In a city the size of Encinitas, small details like this are bound to be overlooked from time to time. It’s unfortunate and tragic for the family.
But what it is NOT is a rational excuse to condemn the whole concept of safer infrastructure for cyclists and pedestrians. And anyone who seeks to make that leap is an absolute fucking moron.
Sorry.
DeleteJennings. Not Woodley.
There was no "knowing," there was very questionable behavior on Walker's part that's been done to death. Bottom line: had she full stopped at the bottom of her street, looked left before proceeding right, she would have seen the truck. Not what happened.
DeleteIf it was the housing that caused the traffic conditions, why did the city immediately after his death remove the bollards that THEY had placed - not the developer "changing" anything.
I place no malicious intent on the city, either. But when our supposed experts on staff are incompetent and the council refuses to course correct this deadly incompetency, then that starts moving into the malice category.
Your "small detail" killed someone. You'd be singing a different tune if Dr. Jennings Worley had been your family member, trust me.
Finally, it is perfectly rational to condemn a whole concept when you look at Encinitas' track record of nearly three dozen injuries since "improvements" went in and two deaths. Stop and start over and for god's sake do not let any council member spouses create the plan.
You ask:
Delete“ If it was the housing that caused the traffic conditions, why did the city immediately after his death remove the bollards that THEY had placed - not the developer "changing" anything.”
The answer is that before the development, there wasn’t a need for a turn lane, so the original bollard placement was perfectly fine.
Once construction started, there was a lot of contractor and truck traffic that needed to get into and out of the development. As the entry road became more active, there needed to be a turn lane allowing the construction traffic to slow and turn into the development. The truck that hit the cyclist swerved quickly into the bike lane because there was no place to gradually merge over and slow.
The fact of construction changed the traffic conditions, and the city was slow to recognize it. My assumption is that the removal of bollards and installation of a turn lane was probably in the plans, but not soon enough.
As to “there was no ‘knowing’. . .”
DeleteHogwash.
The city council documents, presentations, and plans for Streetscape date back decades, and they all specifically stated that one of the primary reasons to reconfigure the roadway was to remedy the known unsafe condition of having no bike path and parallel parking along the road in close proximity to lanes designed for high speed traffic when 101 was the main road between LA and San Diego (i.e. before I-5).
Any plaintiffs attorney would have used all of those documents at trial to show that the city knew the road was unsafe for cyclists and did nothing to fix it for decades.
The only silver lining is that the Roberta settlement finally got the city off its ass to implement Streetscape.
In the Walker case, the sharrows and striping on highway 101 were not painted and signed to code. That's the main reason the insurance company wouldn't want to take it to trial. Everyone knew Roberta was primarily at fault.
DeleteThere is no “code.”
DeleteOnly guidelines.

DeleteWalker was at fault without a doubt. That she was close to our mayor at that time, resulted in an $11 million dollar give away scam of our tax dollars for a friend and supporter of catherine.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who looks at that intersection and the empty post office parking lot before dawn knows that she rode her bike across the empty parking lot and out onto the 101 in the dark without looking for traffic and probably with headphones on. Whatever, she was not paying attention to the traffic at that hour as she merged onto the roadway.
Her fans will always cry out against any condemnation expressed toward the cause of the accident that did not have to happen.
Of course she did not go down to the stop sign, stop and look for southbound traffic. No one would. We would all angle across the empty parking lot as she did. The difference is most of of us would have checked the traffic before entering the roadway. She did not. Was she distracted at that moment?
I will tell you who knows better than anyone. The unfortunate driver of the truck that was never cited because it was not his fault. The cops knew that and were prevented from letting the truth be known to the public by the mayor.
Truth
DeleteIt’s amazing that you know the details of how that accident unfolded when the sheriffs weren’t able to resolve that detail even though they had access to all of the evidence and you don’t.
DeleteYou are truly special.
Just like mommy always said.
Tell us more about how your omniscient powers.
Sheriffs always looked on the hot seat when asked to lie.
Delete10:39,
DeleteSo you can tell by looking at someone that they were asked to lie? Can you tell who asked them to lie, and when and where that conversation took place?
You are either amazing, or a Dunning-Kruger exemplar.
The city felt otherwise, hence, the $11 million payout and the City put those sharrows in the wrong locations on a high-speed roadway,
DeleteThey have the same condition down on S. Coast Highway in Cardiff.
Hence tens of millions of dollars of lawsuit settlements to come.
Kranz is a complete idiot.
Sharrows are irrelevant. They change nothing. They simply remind drivers of the law. They are like a sign that reminds you to wear your seatbelt. With or without the sign, the law is the same.
Deletethey’re not irrelevant. They tell an inexperienced bicyclist to take the lane and ride on a high-speed roadway.
DeleteThey are supposed to be used for residential streets. Not highways.
The city didn’t even follow the state standard. That’s why they continue to lose in court. Stupid losers. Very deadly deadly mistake.
The deadly mistake is every bike rider getting out there and thinking they could or should be protected from every single huge heavy metal thing hurdling toward them, all the time, day in and day out.
DeleteYou can't be. That's why you have so many dead and injured friends! Even with no cars involved, you still run an ok risk.
The solution wasn’t forcing cyclists off the road.
DeleteThe solution was Streetscape—reconfiguring the road to safely accommodate all users.
And the city failed to implement that well known solution for decades.
That’s why they settled.
The city paid nothing and the decision wasn't made by Blakespear or the council. But facts never matter to the Hatespear morons.
DeleteYou morons. You sound like the left that would scream they are in hand pain but it is they that hit the other person in the face.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder this country is so messed up with endless
victimhood.
Let’s not forget Walker’s crash, which resulted in the Leucadia Blvd bollards that resulted in Jenning’s death. In this case, as in the cycle track death, it’s on the traffic engineer. Abe is incompetent as well as another city tool.
ReplyDeleteYet staff get praised to the skies at every opportunity!
DeleteWallace is getting ahead of himself. I saw a road biker go down on that same stretch, pre-road furniture, by hitting his right pedal on the right side curb. Same as with a car, you must watch where you are going or may hit something. The curbs are only dangerous to those not paying attention. That said, they have probably caused more harm than good in that they have protected less people than they have injured.
ReplyDelete10:38, by stating the obvious—that we don’t really know what happened, and that there are other possibilities, you will now be called names and people will guess you must be (fill in name of hated person here).
DeleteEveryone is getting ahead of themselves, as usual. Hyperventilation and slobbering at every chance possible to blame Blakespear for anything, no matter how sad or unlikely. Truly pathetic- EV you suck.
DeleteMy favorite argument is that it doesn't matter that the guy wasn't wearing a helmet, didn't have a light and possibly wasn't sober. It's still Blakespear's fault because all accidents always are, and RAWWWWR, I'm angry! No official findings needed.
Delete10:58. WTF is wrong with you? We Need a real safety commission
Delete10:59,
DeleteIt’s not just that official findings aren’t needed—it’s that official findings can be assumed to be wrong and part of a conspiracy theory.
You see, the uniparty Illuminati that drink the blood of infants and meet under the Denver airport want Blakespear to be governor one day. So they had the local sheriffs investigating the bike crash murdered and replaced with clone lizard people to alter the official findings.
Duh.
Ok so you anonymous person saw one individual supposedly. What about the other 32 crashes some that sent people to the hospital some that necessitated surgery? Yah your claimed one vs. deaths is gonna convince us that the riders should be blamed. You sound like Blakespear, her husband, Margo with his dude from VA, and KranzHinzeLyndes. No one's buying it.
Delete11:17, are you having a stroke or do you not know how to write clear, complete English sentences?
DeleteThere are no "accidents" in Encinitas. If not for Blakespear, we would never ever be hurt or killed, and no one would ever make a mistake that results in injury. We wouldn't even have people out on the streets under the influence!
DeleteDo you see why we're so mad at Blakespear voters now?
We’d have a lot less homeless that’s for sure.
DeleteAnd the homeless don't do anything bad at all 12:00, other than force resident to invent batshit crazy stories about them, apparently.
Delete12:00, what is it that you think we should be doing to get homeless people off the streets?
DeleteI hope your answer isn’t some version of starve them to death or send them somewhere else, because those aren’t legal.
???? 12:19, I wasn't criticizing anyone living in Encinitas without a home, I was criticizing Encinitas residents with a home, that can't stop lying about "stepping on syringes" and "seeing human poop" and who supposedly have daily run ins with people that are just trying to survive, and somehow end up feeling like they are the victims.

When did the city go to court though? Aren't these all settlements that are being mentioned?
DeleteSharrows are irrelevant. They don’t change traffic laws one bit. Just a reminder.
DeleteThe city settled because they had decades of records showing that they knew the 101 roadway design was unsafe for cyclists and they did nothing about it.
Decades of records? References please.

Nothing found after March 22 2023 in City records and Coast News never did a followup to their story.

I believe since the City is paying with tax payers money they need to discuss the public payments. Where did the City disclose the amount they paid and what was the amount?
ReplyDeleteHere is last years Coast news story, but they didn't follow-up.
Despite three years of legal finger-pointing and numerous counterclaims, the Worley family filed a notice of conditional settlement on April 12, and the court generated a notice of dismissal in the case on April 19.
Ricardo Baca, an attorney representing the City of Encinitas, told The Coast News all the parties have started the process of “reaching a global settlement” in the lawsuit.
“Nothing is finalized, but the talks have begun,” Baca said, who would not discuss any other details about the case.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs and other co-defendants did not respond to repeated requests for comment. No additional information is available on possible settlement terms.
A civil jury trial was scheduled to begin on April 28.

Prior to the Hatespear years Encinitas leadership was mostly reasonable and leaned mostly center left in the former "classical" liberal type of fashion. "Classical" liberals today are defined as far right. That is how far the social fabric has fallen. The Covid years bullshit allowed Fakespear and Margo to really ram their extremist communist ideology up the proverbial asses of the entire local population. The communista ideology in sacramento helped these local communists pieces of shit apply their stupidity on unsuspecting population that was just trying to get through the bullshit sensationalism of a bad flu virus. The things they did such as having extremist BLM rallies in and around city hall and it's surrounding was the tell. BLM has been 100% proven to be an antisemitic terrorist organization that lined the pockets of the stupidest idiots of society. It's all so obvious now but the realityh is to eradicate these types is going to take a concerted effort to arrest and imprison these people for many, many years - some even for life terms. It seems there may not be the will for that to happen but it is really and truly the only solution.

Delete1054 – exactly. I asked one of my transvestite friends, and they said it means I don’t know if my mom is a man, woman, furry, fluffy, or a worm and I am experiencing severe foundational issues with my psyche.
DeleteOh hey!
ReplyDeleteI’m an Encinitas Undercover / Watchdick / Uncensored / MAGA dummy.
Sometimes I see people on bikes, and I think to myself: I am a victim.
Sometimes I see people trying to be kind and understanding to others of non-binary gender, and I think to myself: I’m a victim.
Sometimes I see people trying to align public policy with science, and I think: I’m a victim.
Sometimes I see people protesting a convicted murderer who kills while in uniform as a cop, and I think: I’m a victim.
Sometimes I see people winning elections who I didn’t vote for, and I think: this must be a conspiracy and I am a victim—especially if it’s a woman.
Generally, I see society evolving and changing, and it makes me scared because I am a victim. I’m a rube who will give money to a billionaire to build a time machine to go back to a vague time when America was great. Don’t ask me when that was, because it’s fictional, and you asking hurts my feelings and make me feel like a victim.
Oh, an I’m also a violent POS domestic terrorist who will threaten and support the use of political violence if I don’t get my way.
👆🏿No Dummy. you’re just stupid and triggered. ✅
Delete11:42,
DeleteYes, I am. I’m a MAGA victim loser.
11:30 funny how the Dems say “trust the science”, then they go on to tell you men can have menstrual cycles, give birth and that XY chromosomes don’t really exist.
DeleteOh the hypocrisy of the hateful left.
“They”
DeleteWho?
Be specific.
That sounds like uncensored all the way. Whiney loser ignorant babies to the bone.
Delete11:30- sounds like you need some help. I’d suggest to go talk to a therapist or a psychiatrist. Don’t worry , once you take ownership of your life things will get better.
ReplyDelete11:44, true.
DeleteAs a MAGA victim baby, I am definitely indoctrinated into a violent cult and am in need of deprogramming.
Yeah, if you’re a magna victim or a Kranz freak show victim, A victim Mentality is a victim For life, and will not find happiness in their life, until they take ownership of their life.
DeleteLook within, my worm furry.
so back to the real time news :
ReplyDeleteDo any of our EU lawyers out there know how to find out what the settlement amount was that the city paid for the Dr Worely Wrongful death settlement agreement?
It was paid? Must be progress in action. That alone is surprising.
ReplyDeleteI took the seat off my bicycle and it's a much more enjoyable riding experience now. Just wish there were more speed bumps in town, coz those are my favorite.
ReplyDelete- Phony
Deal w Dr Worley:

Que Margo predicting why his goat will prevail
I bet they’re holding it until after the election. don’t want to show another huge payout due to their faulty design.
DeleteAnd now they’ll have this one with Ryan. They just can’t stop with all their mistakes.
How about the gigantic mistake on Lake Drive where they didn’t maintain a storm drain and that one’s costing them like $10 to $15 million for their one mistake.
Everything they do, they screw up. And now there’s gonna be a second senior center to screw up even more which is going to cost $ 10s of millions more.
The city can’t get rid of Kranz and Anthill fast enough.
Roberta Walker - $11 million
Family of wrongfull death of Dr. Worely - ________?

1. Family of wrongful death of Ryan William ______?
2. Next person to get rundown in Sharrow ______?

4. Next person to die from dooring on southbound Hwy 101 approaching Leucadia Blvd._______?
5. Upcoming student or other viticim for horrible design adjacent to the SDA highschool. ______?
The City is going broke With all its bad decisions.
Kranz should resign today!
This next summer is going to be a complete shit show out there…. How many more deaths are we talking?
DeleteI made the mistake of traveling down to San Diego City yesterday. What a dump. Bums, horrible street conditions, weeds out of control everywhere on and on.
ReplyDelete"If" you live in North County, stop complaining. This place is heaven.
5:26-you’re showing your ignorance.
DeleteThe current mayor Katz has positioned Encinitas to follow the path of San Diego and is well into destroying Encinitas.
- promotes overdevelopment of the city,. Has taken trips provided by developers.
- has openly welcomed everyone in the world including fentanyl zombies from San Diego to Encinitas for free living, begging, and stealing other peoples things, and other, malicious and harmful crimes.
- He’s pushing his unnecessary pet projects as the city’s infrastructure and roads are crumbling.
Examples - not maintaining a simple storm drain as costing the city over $15 million to repair on Lake drive, all of the streets are crumbling and are looking like the City of San Diego, and will get even worse. Needed projects are being able to be funded because Kranz wasteful money on the pet project and unnecessary staff building like more lifeguard bikini watchers and planners for BS programs. North Highway one01 is a flooded disaster, due to Crances converting nice previous earth to impervious, parking lots and greatly increasing the runoff and not building any needed drain system.
- Kranz is focused on fencing off the coastline instead of maintaining access and improving pathways and access to the coastline.
The list goes on, and on everything that loser touches turns to shit.
Encinitas is a beautiful and nice place to live because of former city founders and active residence like Bruce Eller and I hate to say Sheila Cameron, and many other good and smart people.
if you don’t like what you see in San Diego, then you don’t like Kranz’s vision of Encinitas. Because every action from Kranz is making Encinitas more like San Diego and LA.
Kranz needs to resign today.
Kranz - since you’re a transplant, like so many others in the city, prove you’re worth, and do one thing good for Encinitas in your lifetime. Resign today!
DeleteDump The Dunce!!!
Yes.....I'm ignorant. Try putting that aside. In my neighborhood, if we see someone that doesn't belong, we kill them and toss the corpse. It isn't brain surgery.
DeleteNever call law enforcement for what we can accomplish.
LE has more important things to take care of.
You could have simply posted - "I'm ignorant"
DeleteWhy......I like the killin' part. Like in the movies.
DeleteGood Morning Encinitas-
ReplyDeleteI am a professional who works with families that have experienced wrongful deaths due to actions of others. Sometimes those actions are carelessness, some times malicious, and other times the liable party was not even aware that they were creating a hazardous condition. Regardless, people are responsible for their action and for creating hazardous conditions that harm people. Its the families left behind that motivates me to make those liable take responsibility for their actions.
I am greatly concerned with the conditions that exist in Encinitas and for the public, and I'm here to help those families that need assistance.
I'm working on a possible draft - CASE: Williams, et al v. City of Encinitas, et al; Case No. 41-2024-00005475-CU-PO-NC
Due to the well documented existing hazardous condition, this one is pretty much a slam dunk and I'm sure will settle quickly, no matter what the family ask is. I'm estimating at least double what was granted to Ms. Walker.
We all want to make Encinitas safer, so lets work together and document all the hazards the City initiated on that formerly beautiful road. Thanks for your help, lets be respectful for the grieving family and give them their due space and peace. There is plenty of time to address the responsible parties for this very sad loss. With that same respect, the Williams children need our help.
In building my file, I would love to hear any attorney's latest information on the Worley, et al v. City of Encinitas, et al; Case No. 37-2021-00005460-CU-PO-NC. These prior cases are extremely important with the our cases moving forward. Any info on this is appreciated.
To help address this current hazard, please post your findings and observations. Some obvious ones include bollard and curb stop are abruptly erected in a poor lit. I drove by last night and could hardly see the first bollard or the curb stop. I'd suggest the City address the existing hazard or at minimum put some lights on that area, or at least some reflective tape and make it more visible. The little reflective tape out there now was covered in black from possibly being hit so frequently.
Second observation is that location is on a significant down slope and bike and cars are traveling very fast. One question - should traffic be going that fast in that area? Is that safe for what appears to be a popular public space?
God bless Encinitas and thanks for your help in addressing this sad issue, but we will do our part to hold those accountable to make financial restitution to the Williams children.
Leaving with the following- "All of our actions have consequences, so please give proper consideration when erecting fixed objects in heavily used public spaces with fast moving people." -Anon
- God bless Encinitas this wonderful Sunday Morning
Here is the bottom line to people. If nothing was done to enhance safety then people complain. I something is done to enhance safety then people complain.
DeleteIf some dumb ass rides a bike in the dark and gets themselves killed then people complain.
Get it? This mushy B.S about the poor bicycle rider, the bum that walked in front of a Locomotive and got crushed..on and on and on. People...they can't get fixed. There isn't anything common about sense but there is much in common with stupid.
7:07- You’d feel different if your father hit a fixed object that he couldn’t see at night while trying to do the right thing and ride a bike and lessening his footprint on this earth.
DeleteI thought Encinitas was supposed to be in a safety emergency? What the hell happened with that?
Seems like it’s going in the wrong direction.
Dump The Dunce!!!!
7:14........you can't fix people. That shipped sailed 100K years ago. Everyday someone does something stupid, a fact of life it is. Dumb is...as dumb does.
Delete7:38- you just described Tony Kranz.
Delete“Dump The Dunce”
Resign today Kranz!
Hey, I’ve crashed on the sidewalk without wearing a helmet after getting loaded at the beer garden. Just because my head so soft and it doesn’t crack doesn’t mean anything. I’m tough just ask Starvin .

Please continue sharing information and real news in our community! You are good! Kranz is bad.

-Dump The Dunce!!!!
“Sheriff’s investigators say Currie was not wearing a helmet as he rode north along South Coast Highway 101 shortly after midnight.”
DeleteStrike One.
“It was dark — there are no lights along the highway.”
Strike Two.
“Currie’s manual Electra Townie bicycle was equipped with a light, but investigators don’t know whether it was on when he went down. There were no witnesses, and it is not known if he was impaired by drugs or alcohol.”
Strike Three.
Terrible tragedy. But he took unnecessary risks.
I’m all for allowing each person to decide their own risk tolerance and have the freedom to make their own decisions. But that freedom comes with the acceptance of personal responsibility.
Before you pass judgment, why don’t you drive or ride by the beginning of those bollard areas on the steep fast slope at night and check out the real situation.
DeleteOnce you do, the problem is pretty easy to see. Or rather in this case, not to see. 😢
Steep slope?
DeleteYou lost your credibility right there.
Good morning, big girl😘…. Would you happen to know where my pinky ring is? Last time I saw it, we were going to town… yum

Thank you Karen, excellent article!
ReplyDeletehttps://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/public-safety/story/2024-03-24/fatal-cycle-crash-encinitas-bike-lane-currie
Two observations just from the picture:
Look at how dark those bollards and the wheel stops are. Can anyone see those at night?
Look at that hilarious 35 mph speed limit sign. we know this is the old PCH and people travel like 65 or 70 on that highway… it’s an highway FKOL and that’s what people go. That sign is insulting. I think the bikes are going faster than 35 mph.
Anyway, excellent news reporting Karen, and please continue with stories in our community.
Thanks!

Let me see if I can help. When holding a hand grenade, you pull the pin, release the handle. What you don't do is then hold on to the hand grenade. It hurts.......like riding a bike...in the dark and expecting a pleasant outcome. Pass the stupid please. And yes, the buffoon won his prize.
ReplyDeleteDo you also blame Roberta Walker for riding in the dark? It was established that it was pitch black out when she had her accident.
DeleteNope, you didn’t help. Your comments didn’t really add anything.
Delete10:29,
DeleteTo an extent, yes, she was taking a risk.
But she was wearing a helmet. And there are less drunks on the road just after midnight than there are at 6am—long after the bars have closed.
Roberta also wasn’t a single parent of young kids.
Risk usually isn’t one decision or condition in isolation; it’s usually a stack of compounding factors, each of which adds to the total risk.
Correction: more not less
DeleteNobody wants to question why a single dad with young kids is out riding along a highway between towns after midnight with no helmet?
ReplyDeleteConsidering it was the five year anniversary of his wife’s death, no one with half a heart questions him being out.
DeleteSounds like a Kranz directed comment to assassinate the guy’s character. Getting ready for the lawsuit to end Encinitas lawsuits.
DeleteYou can question why this gentleman was out all day long. It doesn’t change the facts and existing conditions of the roadway. Fix the hazard on the roadway.
DeleteFacts and details don't matter when attacking leftists.
Delete10:40,
DeleteThe anniversary of the mother’s death isn’t a hall pass to make risky decisions. It should be a reminder to do the opposite for those kids.
No doubt the dead was high on something. Ya' real responsible clown act out after "dumb: 30" riding a bike in the dark. What a genius.
DeleteWithout those wheel stops he would be alive, 107 do you say the same about Walker?
Delete1:07 was Roberta walker an irresponsible clown act? Asking for everyone watching.
Delete8:01’s “strikes” list cannot hold a candle to Serge’s documentation.
ReplyDelete10:43 - 💯….
ReplyDeleteComing from a self professed homeless guy who couldn’t show up at the right time for the army, National Guard up in Alaska, now attacking a dead Westpoint veteran (RIP😢)
Yeah, that makes a whole lot of sense.
Dump The Dunce!
Kranz resigned today!!
We're out getting some coffee. You and I sit down at a table and start catching up, chatting about various current events. You're going on about how terrible the Encinitas city council is. It's your favorite topic. You tell me a story about how the YIMBYS led by Blakespear are again trying to destroy our coast. Less than 10 minutes later you tell me the EXACT SAME story about the YIMBYS and Blakespear. The EXACT SAME story verbatim. You clearly have no idea that mere minutes ago you had told me this story and are now repeating it. I'm worried but I don't want to draw attention to it. You can't remember what you said and did less than 10 minutes ago. You're almost 80 and we've seen many OBVIOUS signs for years that your mind has slipped. I've read about same story syndrome and it's just one of many symptoms you've been exhibiting. As you continue on I wonder how much longer you have before we need to find someone to take care of you.
ReplyDelete11:30- Starvin- you sound eighty… slipping … approaching Biden level.
Delete“Kranz resigned today!!” - wishful thinking.
ReplyDeleteHow about,
Kranz - Resign today!
Now I’ll support that.
- Mother Earth
How convenient that Larri remembers EV is supposed to be about Encinitas....when negative stories about Republicans are shared. Now try applying that same criteria to all the bullshit you and sPam post every day that has nothing to do with Encinitas. Or maybe just look at the all the articles Larri and sPam shared about Garvey in the last couple months.
ReplyDeleteLarri is the same lying fraud she's always been. If it wasn't for double standards she'd have none at all.
Careful 12:28. Talk like that is going to get Lorri posting as her "friend" again.
DeleteExactly 12:28. shut the fuck up lady.
DeleteMaybe she’s boinking Garvin and Kranz.
DeleteA tag team sort of situation? Not very likely.
DeleteSee below re tag team
DeleteCould the morons stoop any lower? Yes they can and they will, including our former worst mayor ever. His mean nature has not been mitigated with age and shows life has taught him nothing about being a better person toward his fellow residents. It is not within him. His character or lack thereof, such as it is, has learned nothing through the years on how to be a better man.
ReplyDelete12:28 = run out of office Jerome Stocks. If it says Larri it’s him posting.
ReplyDeleteJerome Stocks or no, EV is a shit show. It makes no sense, don't try to make it make sense.
Delete2:29And yet you must be able to read it. I thought 1000's of people we're blocked. Guess they missed you. This post is about a man that died, and some of you have turned it into a shit show about EV. It's truly disturbing. Hopefully, it's just a few people that have too much time on their hands.
DeleteBeing able to read it doesn't make it less of a shit show! I can read the coast news shit show too.
DeleteThey do a really really really bad job. A man dying has no connection to their incredibly poor jobs at gossiping and busy body-ing. PSP- get the fuck back to Del Mar.
Starvin deflection for his gal… well Starvin- bumper stickers coming:
ReplyDeleteDump The Dunce!
It’s a shame this guy had a heart attack, or was drunk, or had a puncture and hit the ground without a helmet, or any of the other possibilities.
ReplyDeleteHi Tony
DeleteLook no further than Gonzalez doing the city’s work by blaming the rider per precedent set by BlakeSpear. He was doing it back when the accidents starting piling up too, no shame or sense of decency. He’s got that in common with the watchdog refugees.
ReplyDeleteI guess it's that time of year again where people say the quiet part out loud.
ReplyDeleteEV exists to serve two purposes.
The first and most obvious purpose is to manipulate voters in the directions Lorri and her friends desire. There's literally thousands of examples showing how this is accomplished and multiple occasions where she's slipped up and let people see behind the curtain. Even casual observers notice the selective enforcement of ever changing rules, one-sided bullying and personal attacks, banning of members without cause, promotion of patently false information, and on and on and on. Everyone knows the game that's being played including those that benefit from it. Over the years I've talked to enough people all over the political spectrum and on all sides of the issues. They all know it and most will privately admit it. Those same people will then publicly deny it or simply refuse to comment.
The second purpose of EV is to make Lorri feel good. Beyond the standard social media dopamine reward, EV makes her feel good in a few different ways. She feels good when EV accomplishes the first purpose of manipulating voters, when her accomplices shower her with praise for accomplishing that goal, when she can exert control over others, and when she can get sympathy from others.
Despite failing health and mental acuity, Lorri isn't stupid. Deep down she knows all of the above to be true. She knows that she's used by most of the people she thinks of as friends. I'd wager that sometimes she even admits it to herself.
5:02- not buying your stupid waste of time deflection. This is an EV and we don’t need to refer to EV.
DeleteThis is the real time news- EU.
Karen is welcome. She writes a good article! 💪🏿🙏🏿
* This is not EV and we don’t need to refer to EV.
DeleteThis is EU - Encinitas real time news.
@5:02 💯 nailed it.
Delete5:02 speaks the truth.
DeleteControl freak.
5:02's initials are GW and he's still butt hurt he was banned long ago from EV. Despite endless whiner PMs to be let back in. Dude wants to dish it out....
DeleteYou don't have a clue about either point you made up about Lorri.
ReplyDeleteYou have made it quite clear what a lowlife you are. Good job on that, and only that.
Don’t worry about it it’s just Starvin, trying to deflect.
DeleteAnything to get the heat off of his gal, The Dunce
Blakespear and Kranz. Two unlikeable, unpopular people who are getting their payback.
ReplyDeleteEver talk to people who went to school with Tony? Not a compliment in sight.
👆🏾 true that… they all said he was a tool back then and he’s still a tool….
Deletehe would definitely be on the streets if his legal papers wife didn’t marry him to care for him and give him a roof over his head,
Victim mentality for life. No matter how much he is on the lamb and ruining Encinitas these are his glory days.
Once he is removed, he will only be known as the The Town Dunce.
Or, at best, Dalakranz.
