I Need a Site! In early days of manhunt, Christopher Dorner sought ride to Mexico from San Diego fishermen: report

February 18, 2013 Pacific

A week before his final fiery shootout with California authorities, fugitive cop-killer Christopher Dorner tried to sweet talk some San Diego fisherman into giving him a ride to Mexico, according to a local report. The visit surprised the fishermen because the wharf caters to commercial fishing boats, not tourists. “I’ve been down here for 40 years and he’s the first guy that came down here and asked for a ride,” local troller Roy Sherman told NBC Bay Area.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer.
