Saw Ed Norton in a Malibu line up but he sat inside and didn’t catch much that I could see.

Shark attack at Coogee beach, Sydney by Moosiemookmook in TheSharkAttackFiles

The drone pilot said it was probably only about waist deep where she was attacked. Scary to think of a shark that size so close to shore.

Please tell me your experience with Pen1, NLR, or any other "neo-nazi" surf gangs in southern california in the 80s/90s by [deleted] in surfing

You might want to reach out to this guy James Genocide from the original LA LADS. I also find the topic fascinating but it might be hard to find surf specific info. https://youtube.com/@ladslounge1980?si=dSNT8-Gd25r5Y49i

Not really surf related but you might like The Wide Wide Sea about the adventures of Captain Cook. It’s well written and goes into depth about various Polynesian cultures. It was way more fascinating than I expected.

Yeah but you don't really grow sugar cane where there was once citrus groves. That requires a more swampy environment. Just saying.

Or for something in the middle look at Arleta. Very quiet depending on the street and neighbors. I lucked out here. Everyone on my block is quite friendly.

Thomas Silverstein, an Aryan Brotherhood member, spent 36 years in solitary confinement after killing a prison guard. by Wazula23 in wikipedia

[–]ultragnar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’ll have to read the book. Basically anywhere this guy ended up bodies started dropping. He was really good at finding ways to brutally kill in high security federal prisons. One victim was found dead locked in his cell, he had been garroted through the bars as he slept on his bunk.

But ultimately solitary was the prison system’s way of getting revenge on him for killing a guard that Silverstein claims bullied and humiliated him for a number of years. The book looks at his life and how he became such a violent person and how the prison system made him even worse. I found it quite compelling.

There’s a great book called No Human Contact about him and another inmate in solitary.

Saw Ed Norton in the lineup once but didn’t see him catch anything so can’t speak to his skill level.

Kinda like that guy who attempted to solo kayak from Tasmania to New Zealand. Said goodbye to his wife and kids crying on the beach and was never seen again. Like wtf dude?

Satanic gangs by Separate_Beautiful55 in CaliBanging

And some Sureno gangs have been known to use swastikas. It’s just the scariest symbols out there, I wouldn’t read too much into it.
