Letters to the Editor

Editor:

This past July 4, along Ocean Beach and the Great Highway, marked a week-long noisemaking, littering, exploding, car side showing, smelly, intoxicating, fighting, nature abusing and peace disturbing orgy of local terrorism that our beach community has not seen for several years. How dare these lawbreakers to destroy San Francisco's Ocean Beach and terrorize the residents of the Outer Sunset, endangering people, wildlife, pets and passing motorists along the Great Highway.

Our tax-supported law enforcement departments (national park service and SF Police Department) were of little assistance due to inadequate response and low staffing. We as citizens were ill served.

I ask in these times of hate and acting out if local outlaws are now the terrorists we need to be wary of. This disrespect of our peace of mind, of wildlife and of our community property is a terrorist action. Who will do the clean up of the beach and stop it from happening again?
