Green Boat Guy Off Jericho Beach

A sailboat moored off Jericho Beach in Vancouver has nearby residents upset because of its swastika painted on the hull. It is also believed the boat is dumping toxins into the water.

This charming guy with the swastika painted on his boat (in retaliation to being forced to leave False Creek because they have regulated against squatting in the Creek or something) has taken up residence off of Jerich Beach for the last week or so. I guess they have yet to find a rule or regulation that enables them to kick him out of the area.

Last night the police at least got a reason to board his boat and check him out. As we were having our after pizza popsicles he decided to fire off some sort of gun. My friend, who was swimming quite a ways off shore at the time was really thrilled with being so close to the shooting gallery. Within a few minutes there was a bunch of police cruising the beach and a patrol boat came up and some officers boarded his boat. They left him on board and his boat moored so I guess it was a licensed gun or just a pellet gun. Too bad. I wish he would go back to the cave he cave from so I can take my kids to the beach without having to deal with this schmuck.
