Malibu Surf & Turf War -- The Rematch

Posted Jun 23rd 2008 12:23PM by TMZ Staff

Private security was hired to patrol the beach where Matthew McConaughey surfs -- but that didn't stop another brutal beach beatdown from taking place yesterday between a band of violent locals and the paparazzi.

After a beachgoer chucked a beer bottle at one of the paps on the shore, an all-out brawl took place by the water -- ending with some badly busted-up faces and a lot of ruined camera equipment.

Though the L.A. County Sheriffs Department eventually showed up, no arrests were made.

78. These surfers are a joke. This is their moment of glory. Beach turf wars? The paps aren't stealing your waves dude. Stop beating up people pointing cameras and go back to drinking beer and rubbing sun screen on each other.

80. I just don't understand why any pap would actually want a picture of that ego maniac anyhow. Matthew's body is an "ok" but his face looks like a truck ran over it.

81. Why should the cops arrest anyone for doing what they want, as well? The cops are "locals", too. Stupid paps.

83. I get a warm fuzzy feeling watching the paps get beat down by surfers. Paps are parasites for going on this beach with cameras.

85. The police are sick of the Paps causing a frenzy where ever they go. Look at ANY video of Britney or Paris. If I were the police I would hope for a beat down also! And why would they show up for another day when they knew what happened last time?? The day of the Paps is coming to an end and I love it! Maybe people will be able to be in a 10 mile radius of these "stars" and not be bombarded

86. Sue these surfers ,x17 and if TMZ was attack you should sue also ,this type of bullying behavior that has penetrated the American psychology because of the type of Government that has been in power is coming to a end and this type of behavior among citizens in this country also needs come to a end.

87. Yay! Hopefully they'll use baseball bats against the paps next time. The paps have chased most of the A-listers away in CA; really all they have left are the celebutards to willingly hound.

I agree--Cap a Pap today!!!

89. Hey stupid,
The instigating, agitating mob of paps are the bullies and deserve everything which is and shall be coming to them.

Posted at 11:52AM on Jun 23rd 2008 by how 'bout some beach justice for 'em?

90. To Studly . . . you're an idiot!
