The MSM are not happy to report news any more. They want to to make it, and are happy to create extra fear and chaos if it helps sell their nonsense.

Reports of idiots swimming in the sea of the west coast. Fcuk them but they are putting innocent lifeguards at risk too. The civil defence should seriously give thought to not responding to acts of absolute lunacy until 100% safe to do so. |
