Malibu Locals Support The Paps!

Matthew McConaughey might not have any words for his fellow surfers after their violent confrontation with the paps over the weekend - but other Malibu residents aren't quite so shy!

We sent one of our photographers out to get the opinion of the man (or woman) on the street beach. Surprisingly, a lot of folks seemed to share our views on the beaches being public - even other surfers agreed that the paps had just as much of a right to the space as they did. Thanks, guys - share and share alike!

Others spoke out on the rough reputation held by many of the Paradise Cove faithful. After what our guys had to endure last weekend, we sure see what they're talking about!

Seriously, we found so many locals who saw our side of the story - looks like Matthew may have picked the wrong friends!



Thanks for your kind words, folks!

CHANGE THE TOPIC. These aren't Malibu Locals. These people are from orange country and the 818. They don't give a fuck. Go into there backyards and walk around with a video camera, lets see how they react. Kook-ass paparazzi get a real job.

Paps might as well go to the valley to get those comments. Lets talk about the paps that pulled a knife and slashed 1 of the surfers. Come back and get another ass whipping. Go ahead and bring your Brazillian fighter. We got plenty of that as well. FUCK YOU SCUM BAGS!!!!

I wonder how many hundreds of people they had to interview to get this handful of people that liked the paps... and I bet you there are a few paps in this video undercover.

not buying it one second.. I saw something on the local news monday and the "honest" opinion was alot different, The Police, Mayors office, store owners etc, all talked about the paps like they were talking about a giant RAT infestation.

GET. OVER. YOURSELVES.

No one gives a rat's ass about this but you, X17. No arrests were made and the mayor hates you.

now show the footage of the 200 or so Malibu residents who are tired of dodging Brittany's moronic daisy train on PCH, and are sick of having photogs outside of restaurants asking "anybody famous in there?" Get a real job...add something to the world instead of taking from it.

Those weren't Malibu residents. Everyone is sick of the paps. They are a bunch of reckless twats. I hope Malibu beats West Hollywood and other cities and adopts their own laws against them. The pervy paps were probably taking pics of under age girls at lil' Dume.

Malibu locals do NOT supportthe paps. You guys are hurting so much that you have to make stuff up and shoot other paps saying that they are locals that have no affiliation with the pap industry. Malibu, SAMO, Agoura, Calabasas, Hidden Hills, and all of the other surrounding locals want you guys DEAD!,,,,Leave the locals alone. You cause so many problems in these communities. You have no ethics You drive dangeriously and you put everyone around you in danger.
GO AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK!

X17, you can try and spin it so that it sounds like the majority of residents are on your side, but facts are facts: THE FREAKIN' MAYOR SAID THAT COMPLAINTS AGAINST PAPS HAVE BEEN INCREASING FOR SOME TIME NOW AND THEIR OFFICE IS LOOKING FOR A WAY TO ADDRESS CITIZENS' CONCERNS WHILE GETTING AROUND VIOLATING YOUR 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

So please, okay? You're only posting the opinions of those who support your cause and you're leaving out a much larger portion of the truth. We're not stupid, you know.

PS: Gotta say, though, kudos to you for trying to exploit and milk this whole story for all the publicity you can get from it. I swear that you're secretly happy as hell that these fights occurred. You've made certain that they serve you very very well: one man's beat down is another man's cash in.

I was there at surfrider watching them interview people getting out of their cars. It was like 10 to 2 ratio of people sayingthat paps were out of control and need to leave people alone. So yeah, X17 was cherry picking these interivews to serve their biased agenda. Pretty amature attempt at trying to change people's perception of Paps in Socal.

Notice: We need to protect what it ours otherwise, the result is pure anarchy. All our local spots will be strictly enforced this summer. Enough is enough. The paps (and kooks) are creating an antagonistic and dangerous situations and looking for trouble.

If you don't belong here, stay away.

TMZ just ran a live press conference on the paps in Malibu withthe sherrif and the mayor. Looks like they are going to make Paps get licenced to work in Malibu. What that could possibly entail is that they mustshow legal proof to work inthe USA and be a legal alien. Also, follow guidlines. If they are broken. Fines will be levied. I hope the make the licence really expensive. Like the price of the average home in Malibu.

legal proof to work in the USA? wow.. that is gonna kill 99% of the paps. Way to go Mayor... nice to see the proof that X17 just made this whole "Malibu supports the paps" story up. How embarassing.

TMZ pulled that story because it was too honest about the pap situation. So X17, cheer up, your not the only retards in the game.

nice to see Lee Baca totally beind the license for Paps idea. He sounded like WEHO would do the same thing. You know what getting licensed for a trade means? It could mean that they finger print you and run a criminal check on you. I wonder how many paps are felons? How many have warrants? How many are here illegally and are gang members? It's going to be amazing to see what getting licensed will do tothe "new breed" of paps....It will definetly thin the herd down a bit I think. I can't hardly wait.

we are different from animals because we can think, we can act civilly, we can be humane towards one another.

if violence is the only way that we can resolve any disagreement then we are no better than them.

but then maybe some people are just not emotionally and mentally equipped to handle such situations in a more intelligent manner...and that's just that. we just can not justify violence. any violence no matter what.

x17 you're too effin funny. you think people believe your shit and side with you? you'll get yours soon enough! you're a bunch of low-life bottom feeders who stalk people.

TRUE SURFERS LIKE THIS DUDE ARE SUPRISINGLY MELLOW. ITS OLNY THE RADICAL DRUNK WANNA BE SURFERS WHO ACT LIKE PUNKS. (AND SPOILED BRATS LIKE OSBORNE)

Wow! If you think the Malibu locals are territorial about their private (read: no trespassing!) beaches, don't try surfing in Hawaii - they will kick your butt! The residents of private beaches pay lots of money for that privacy and it shouldn't be compromised by ANYONE.

I think before you start asking people what their perception is of the fight that took place on sunday you should fill them in on the whole story. Tat you idiots came down for a fight with a bunch of tools with rocks in their pockets. Dont strt pretending you came down their innocently. If you watch the full unedited first videos you see all the guys on the beach just chilling enjoying the day. you idiots were talking shit. At least give these people the opportunity to judge the situation for what it actually is not what you fools put in front of them.
