local6.com - News - Surfer Arrested Off Shore Of Galveston As Rita Approaches
A surfer off the shore of Galveston, Texas, was arrested Friday for not adhering to evacuation orders and surfing the large waves created by an approaching Hurricane Rita, according to a Local 6 News report.
My first thought was just leave this guy alone but further thought was that this guy is a distruption. One of the reasons for mandatory evacuations is to make sure the first responders have less people to worry about when the storm hits. This surfer guy probably things that he's not affecting anyone but if he got stuck when the storm hit then he'd cause a first responder to rescue him. I know, some will say he shouldn't be rescues but that is not reality. He would be rescues because that is the type of country America is; we don't turn a blind eye, even to the stupid.

He should have been left alone to himself, his passion and his god.
This fella needs to know the true God and His Son, Christ Jesus our Lord.
Blessings to all.
