I have been to Thunder Hole in Acadia......it can be cordoned off in storm situations and closed due to the obvious dangers in that spot and I guarantee it was closed and those people with that 7 year old girl ignored the closure and the signs and went where they should not have been and for their stupidity that 7 year old girl paid with her life. Thats what people do.......they are stupid and ignorant and need to be treated as if they are stupid and ignorant to protect them....often times they are beyond stupid and ignorant and they cannot be protected from themselves and ultimately will pay for it with their lives or someone elses!!!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I've said this before and I'll say it again:

I don't need the government telling me what I can or cannot do when it comes to my personal safety. Providing warnings is fine, but I already had parents, I'm a big boy now.

If someone sees crazy surf and they decide they want to tempt fate, so be it. If they die, it was there life to lose. Humans are the only species where the weak are allowed to survive and nurtured. Let the idiots kill themselves off and the whole world benefits.

Unfortunately JD that 7 year old girl needed to be told and her parents did not heed the warning. Its just a shame when such things happen. Often times when they do JD......folks like to sue the local, state or federal entities because somehow they feel it was their fault.

Its also the Parents that are stupid....That 7 year old that got killed last weekend not because she didn't know better...but because her parents were idiots
