Santa Barbara students persist with partying despite beach ban

In this video clip, Supervisor Janet Wolf is seen having sheriffs remove a man from the council chambers during a public comment period. He is testifying against the closure of the beach on Saturday April 10th, the date when many had rumored there should be a large gathering. This is a questionable practice because the state law ordinarily dictates that all coastal land (outside of federal military installations such as Vandenburg) that falls below the high tide line should be publicly accessible. People with coastal estates in Malibu often object, but this law is on the side of the public. I imagine that the police are invoking a special 'public safety' provision in order to keep the drunks away from the water.

The man testifying has a somewhat elevated voice but one can't hear any profanity at all in the clip. Supervisor Wolf still keeps interrupting in a paternalistic and controlling fashion, and then has him removed before the end of comment.

The end of this video from last year (3:20-6:30) shows what some people objected to last year, drunk southern Californian brothers having odd fights on the cliff

My spring break was always spent writing term papers and, as with the rest of the year, working at my part-time job. I have no sympathy for anyone who gets drunk, tosses garbage anywhere except in a garbage can, and has nothing to do but make a nuisance of themself. These are the parastical rich kids who have no responsibilities and too much money. They deserve our contempt.

Me too. Look at the student newspaper article. The third video clip has someone from Princeton who traveled to visit. There is something about the Southern Californian accent (which I'm adopting as I reside here) which makes people sound dumber or more frivolous than they genuinely are.

The culture at the party school of the UCs there is fairly friendly; it's not a mean and judgmental frat culture. However, there is a sense that many of the students are coming from fairly wealthy families and their job is just to maintain the status, while there are other campuses with more working class strivers and immigrants.

there was some sort of party riot at a random college on the east coast this weekend. This involves a bonfire and riot police tossing tear gas into student housing
