This is very odd but amazing.


Doesn't this happen every year on Lake Erie?

I just heard an interview from law enforcement. The guy was pretty
****ed about a "$40,000" rescue "putting firefighters and CG in
peril". He has put an emergency mandate in effect, anybody on the ice
will be "put in jail"... Didn't catch his positition or area of
jurisdiction, just caught the end of the interview.

-----------------------------------

I listened to the interview. The reporter wanted to talk about the rescue,
etc., and the sheriff just kept going back to blasting the
"non-professional" fishing idiots that were on the ice.
He was really ****ed off.

Towards the end, the reporter asked if there were any signs or anything
warning people to stay off the ice. He admitted that there were not.
