Halloween Massacre at China Cove

Bet you thought that title was some kind of joke. Unfortunately not:



Akin to what occurred in West Newport when some reprobates decided to bulldoze the dunes, someone has hacked away a fair amount of vegetation by the beach at China Cove, including native plants.


Word has it the Newport Beach Police have apprehended the miscreant. Could it be the same guy that’s been chopping down trees elsewhere, including Costa Mesa parks? Is he just a spoiled brat who feels he has the right to alter public property to suit his convenience and/or enhance his own property value? News flash chainsaw man: You are not the center of the universe.

It’s hard to understand what this jerk was thinking. Were the plants blocking his view? One would think that any views blocked by the massacred plants would also be blocked by Kerckhoff Marine Lab.

What was next on his agenda? Was he going to dismantle Kerckhoff and burn it piece by piece in the fire rings? Oh. Wait. Council Member Gardner’s getting rid of those.


Never mind. If some predictions as to climate change are to be believed, it will all be under water in a few years.
