CA Kayaker run over by boat and killed

Sin Coast:
Terrible news. But worth sharing. And its a reminder that if someone runs you over due to their own stupidity, they will not be cited/charged with a crime. So, it’s probably best to stay alert and get the F outta the way of stupid people on big boats.

dang and there’s only going to be more and more as the number of kayakers climb.

Squidder K:
Hit and run and not charged, really says a lot about this.

Can we form a protest like "Kayaker Lives matter?"

Chet:
I have launched my AI out of there once during lobster season. Boaters run out like a mad man. 5mph rule in this harbor does not apply.

DavidMel:
Horrible news. Thank you for sharing.  I am not familiar enough with maritime law and boating regulations, but it just doesn't seem right that there is no crime/citation for killing someone, unless the person who was killed was behaving in a negligent manner. 

Regardless, it is another reminder that we all have to keep our heads on a swivel and stay as safe as possible.
