The editorial writer sorta forgot to mention the multiple warning signs on and around the beach.
Failed to mention the legal barriers involved in "assuring" beach safety.
And seems totally uninterested in what other communities are doing to mitigate the problem.
Libs simply wet their pants when they hear "cutting-edge" and "spend".
Classic.
And worthless.
Editorial: Muskegon community must implement a credible beach warning system as soon as possible | MLive.com:
.....a community group to plan for a beach warning system.
The group has suggested two, 30-foot towers with warning lights and audio alarms that can be activated with National Weather Service alerts for dangerous wind and wave conditions – something that might happen fewer than a dozen times a summer.
The $70,000 "cutting-edge" beach warning system – with a suggested $20,000 contribution from the city of Muskegon – has met resistance.
Critics claim the city should not spend the money, as the warning system would be ineffective and would disturb the park environs.
They say people should be responsible for their own well-being.
We strongly disagree.
Let's go beyond the "you can't put a price tag on a human life" argument and face the practical issues.
No one wants to pay for expensive days-long search and rescue operations following a drowning or for a lawsuit from a victim's family.
.....We are not yet convinced the proposed beach warning system is the ultimate answer, but we give Lewis and the group credit for challenging us with an innovative approach.
The old flag warning systems don't seem to be effective and having life guards is not only expensive but creates its own set of liabilities for the city.
Make no mistake, the city's ultimate decision will be driven by insurance liabilities, risk management considerations and legal opinions.
We urge the Muskegon City Commission to give the proposed beach warning system a full and quick consideration with hopes that some solution can be implemented yet this summer season.

Portland, Oregon – A 40 year-old man, or former man, named Joseph Johnson accidentally shot off his own testicles while he was fleeing the scene of the a crime. The culprit was committing a shooting in downtown Portland, and as he hastily fled the scene he holstered the gun in his pants, inadvertently firing the gun resulting in self-castration. This was not before he gave his victim, 32 year-old Jordan Merrell, a leg-wound. Of course we heavily sympathize with the victim, but compared to castration by gun a leg-wound sounds like a little slice of Heaven.
