| Boat with Nazi symbols anchored near Jericho beach, dumping sewage near swimming area
WTF..... Quote:
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - A sailboat moored near the swimming area first grabbed the attention of the Vancouver Park Board for being too close to Jericho beach. Now, it is angering many for something completely different.
Nazi symbols, including at least one swastika, are painted on the outside of the green boat. Park Board Commissioner Ian Robertson is among those offended by it. "I will be doing everything I can to get staff to move on this quickly. As I mentioned, this is the single most disgraceful symbol in the history of mankind. The fact that this individual is flaunting it to the public is despicable and just furthers my call for this boat to be removed in this area."
The boat is within a 300 metre perimeter set up for swimming and is believed to be dumping sewage into the area.

Maybe it wasn't a Nazi symbol? Maybe a symbol for a religion?

Unless the boat is also adorned with iron crosses, SS logos, and a totenkopf its a very distinct possibility that Ian Robertson is a tool anxious for a soundbyte that'll get him re-elected.
900+ million Hindus aren't disgraceful.

"OMFG NO WAI NO WAI WTF WHY HE HAS NAZI SYMBOL ON HIS BOTE"
when it could stand for, like mentioned, religious symbols
dumping shit into a swimming area doesnt stand for anything except fucking gross people, people should be more concerned with that then a swastika on the side of a boat

VANCOUVER - A week ago Vancouver Park Board commissioner Ian Robertson went public with his complaints that five sailboats, permanently moored off Jericho Beach, posed a health and safety threat to swimmers using the beach.
His ire - broadcast on radio and TV - was particularly directed at a green, dismasted sailboat that he said was the cause of sewage being discharged into the waters within 300 metres of the shore. Robertson said something ought to be done to have the boats removed.
Over the weekend the boat’s owner responded by painting a swastika on the side of his vessel, said Robertson.
“Showing his displeasure and drawing attention to himself by painting a swastika on the side of his boat is despicable. It’s disgraceful and shows just what a jerk this guy is,” said Robertson.
“I’ve asked staff to find out if there’s anything we can do to deal with the boat and that offensive symbol,” said Robertson.
He believes the boat was towed to its moorage from False Creek where it was one of the vessels evicted last year when the city had False Creek declared a permit-only moorage zone. The city made the declaration after a ramshackle collection of vessels had taken up permanent moorage interfering with ferry and boat access.
“It doesn’t have a working engine. And there’s an individual who lives on it. We believe there are people living on the other boats, too,” he said.
However, the False Creek exclusion zone doesn’t stretch as far as Jericho, said Robertson, and he has been unable to find a way to have the five sailboats removed.
“They are within the 300-metre water lot zone controlled by the parks board but apparently there’s nothing we can do to force them to leave. If someone puts up a tent in a park we can prevent it so I don’t know why we can’t do the same on our water lot. But I’ve been told there is nothing we can do,” said Robertson.
He said the law should be changed to prohibit vessels from causing pollution near a public beach.
“It’s not just the health issue that’s a concern. Lifeguards say people swim out past the boats and can’t be seen from shore - which is unsafe,” he said.
Robertson said he’s not sure what can be done about the swastika or the boats.
“I’m talking to senior staff to see if we can come up with a solution,” he said.

It's only 5 boats. That's probably no worse than 10 or so dogs pooping in the water. Every ocean is full of poop.
I wonder if someone is going to simply douse the boats in gasoline at night and light them up.

Oh but the cruise ships bring in money so the fucken goverment is to pussy to say anything to them. We should get a prioritys straight here not to be concered about 5 sail boats that don't create a enviromental impact when dumping there little sewage when the real culprit here are the cruise lines dumping thousands of litres of crap into are water..
