OC Man Stabs Sea Lion
We take a break from SF coverage to report to you the following incident, one which proves that nothing good comes out of Orange County. Ever. Without a doubt. For reals.
While the Bay Area struggles at keeping birds oil-free and alive, fisherman Hai Nguyen, 24, of Garden Grove tries to murder marine mammals. While fishing off the end of a Newport Beach pier, Nguyen used a steak knife to stab a sea lion who innocuously swiped his bait. According to AP, "the animal was taken to the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach, where staff found the knife had pierced the sea lion's heart... [i]t was later euthanized." Nguyen faces up to one year in prison and a fine of $20,000for violating the Marine Mammal Protection Act. And for being a cruel dick.
Why, this reminds me of the time when fishermen in Dana Point sliced off the beaks of brown pelicans who were noshing on their catch. Which happened around the same time as our future high school's flag post -- i.e., your editor's high school's flag post, that is -- was adorned with a freshly dead dolphin. It was tied to the post by a rival high school in the name of good old fashion football rivalry. Anyway, that's all of the sweeping generalization fodder we've got for you today. Sorry, but the lack of NorCal vs. SoCal rivalry as of late is unnerving. Back to your regularly scheduled Bay Area-related programming...

Nothing good came out of Orange County? Huh? What about Tiffany Mynx?
Do oranges come out of Orange County?
Darn, I tried to quit the browser before my last comment went through.
All animal stories make me sob. And that is a traumatic mascot story, Brock. :(
oranges used to come from OC (far as the eye could see, they would say), but not so much these days. food consumption is sometimes shunned down there.
Wow, dead dolphin!? That's heavy shit relative to the extent of my hs' pranks went.
Worst we in the dub-c (Norcal's equivalent to OC) saw was when some assholes cut down the trees in the quad. Not nearly as creative as my brother's class who managed to cement working toilets into same said quad!
Nonetheless, a special place is indeed reserved for those who choose to unleash on marine mammals. All the anal rape you've got in store is still not enough for you, my friend. Rare for me to say but, for shame.
"I was fishing and I tried to scare it away," he said.
Sorry, but stabbing in the heart is what you do after brandishing a weapon in an attempt to scare away a human assailant fails. Not to our dear pinneped friend to whom your baited hook proved to tasty and easy to resist. Asshole.
that is so lame. sea lions are way more precious than vietnamese immigrants. doesn't everyone know that? jesus!
I hope his stay in prison is anally painful.
May his next fish catch be tainted with fatal levels of mercury and pultonium.
F**king pinnerasts!
