Save the American River Association, Inc., states "our holiday weekend volunteers, particularly those at exit points, have consistently witnessed disgusting and dangerous behavior by many rafters. Not only are many too drunk to stand, let alone walk or drive, many of those who are able to still function resort to attacks on others – often innocent – rafters fight among themselves, remove their clothing, defecate and urinate on the river banks. This inappropriate and aggressive behavior creates a very unsafe atmosphere and discourages parkway use by families and individuals."
I doubt I could defecate on the American River Bank legally. If I can, I’ll see you on the Fourth of July and you will wish you had plenty to drink.
The point is why aren’t the laws against the people breaking the law being enforced?
We didn’t need new laws that targeted people minding their own business. The Governor should veto this bill. He won’t, but he should.
Unfortunately, the desire to pass more laws against innocent people inflicted GOP lawmakers.
In the Senate three GOP votes came from (Maldonado, Wyland and Cox). In the Assembly they came from way to many big government nanny staters.
