Now future gang warfare will have to be done with lethal weapons. No more settling turf differences with a spirited game of Guts.

Wow they must be really broke out there on the left coast.

[Hoey]

I'm sure they have a good reason

The best part of the article is the poll on the bottom about what people think the real reason for the ordinance is. County Cash Grab is winning over Public Safety at 98.2%.

There was a recent story about a lady on Huntington Beach getting hit in the face with a golf disc and having to go to the hospital for a broken nose and internal trauma. Apparently a rogue wind kicked up and carried a disc over (which was probably thrown carelesly) from a local course. The woman is asking the city to pick up the tab on the bill for the resetting of her nose and probably something extra too. PS. Footballs are also in the law. Now only volleyballs and beachballs are allowed on the beach.

Hot stamp the words "Beach Ball" on a catch disc and see if that flies...

Overall, this rates pretty low on my list of reasons to avoid LA.
1. It's LA
...
203. Fines for throwing discs.

the dgcr version is way more fun. it's just like comments on the article but with the awesome addition of mccarthy jr's hypocritical and incoherent misspelled comments. it's like bacon on a cheese burger.

That was former hole 2 at Huntington Beach Central Park. Long shot with a left hook at the end. If you didn't hook, there was a walking/biking path right there. Several people got hit since the advent of discs like the Wraith and the Force so they reoconfigured the hole.
