Interesting form of social justice. LA Times, AP, and even The Guardian for some reason seem to have a strange fascination with Lunada Bay's past. Since a court case a good decade ago, this type of behavior has become an almost non existent rarity. Perhaps it's because PV is a conservative bastion with a very "respect our small town culture or leave" attitude in general, not just related to surfing; as I have seen similar article claiming police harassment that leave you scratching your head.

I will conceded that when I was a grommet, it was this out of hand if not worse with fist fights a daily occurrence; and though I never participated, I was a beneficiary of the thinner crowds.

It's almost as if they expect the locals to make some grand apology for what happened ages ago as if it was Imperial Japan.
