Saw this last week and posted it on FB. These men are armed soldiers on duty. What makes idjits like this one think they can taunt them and touch them.
Off topic, but: Darwin Award Question...WHY is anyone swimming in the North Carolina surf? Or letting their kids do so? Swimming near fishing piers on the coast has always been foolish...and yet there they are? Go figure. Bait = Fish = Food = Sharks. No different than it was for me in Delaware many years ago on Bethany Beach.
Lewy 14 ..sure nuff...but you don't have to feed them with your body :-)
I recall the mornings in Delaware when fishermen were all fishing early and none of us, not a one, ever went in the water while they were doing that. Those who tempt them are just nuts or irresponsible. There's a reason G-d created the Great Lakes and swimming pools :-)
Good Lord, the surf swimmers are still at it...now closing in on the Darwin Award. Big time. Just what are they or the parents thinking? As an 8 year old I knew better, so what the flip is this all about? 9 & counting in the past 30 odd days. Statistically it may be a small number, but statistics can lie when focused on localities....e.g., few shark attacks in Nebraska so that tends to skew the numbers, eh?
BTW...the apparent major culprits atr Bull Sharks....guess what, they are among the very few sharks who can survive in fresh water & salt water...like salmon or trout. How soon before some moron drops a few in the Great Lakes? Maybe they will eat the soon to be populous Asian Carp now working their way in to Lake Michigan thanks to stupidity and greed in Chicago....that can reverse the Mississippi flows from their drainage to the Great Lakes drainage....all for commercial purposes.
Seem no one knows how to call a time out on this issue.
YES and YES.

ReplyDeleteLow-life tourists with no respect.
Hahaha! I'll bet that idjit was peeing down both legs! Good job Queen's Guard!
ReplyDeleteOnly thing to improve it would be a mounted bayonet. Yep, I am so okay with this anyway.

ReplyDeleteYou can't expect logical thinking now, can you?
DeleteShark's gotta eat too...
