Malibu Surf & Turf War -- The Rematch

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.

91. Good, those paps need their asses beaten. That's what the masses have to say about conditioning us for an Orwellian society. . If no one was arrested then who were the two dudes in the back of that sheriff's car at the end of the video?

94. Don't you know, you don't MESS with surfer's on THEIR BEACH?? I love how the Pap Smears all say it's public property. Yea, tell that to the surfers who have been going there for years. Good thing there wasn't a female photog.. She would of gotten her A$$ kicked also.

This is just the start of it. Look for more beatings in the future...

97. Hmm,...I can see the TMZ pitch tank this time. You know, the room they present the material they have and talk like a bunch of catty b!tches.

"OK, I have one,...there were a bunch of us on the beach acting like the parasites we are and we got our assses kicked by some of the skinnest surfers on the planet. Yeah,...we pretty much suck."


A man can dream,...

99. Harvey:

I said it yesterday with the first beach fight story, and I will say it again. You had better read the posts on this story VERY SERIOUSLY. This is a serious beatdown for you and the style of journalism you erroneously THINK the public wants to see. You have over 98% of the public - the ones serious enough to sit down and type - saying "yes, of course we are on this site because we like to see this stuff BUT we also all think you and your bunch of selfish, inconsiderate, impolitic, danger-causing douchebag photographers have GONE WAY OVER THE LINE too many times - and we don't want to see that behavior ever." I have been walking down the street with my kids in Santa Monica only to have a swarm of paparazzo idiots walking backwards en masse to follow a celeb and knocking over everything and everyone in sight. They will stand on your car, knock over stuff in a store, push over your baby stroller, etc.

No one wants to see violence, period, especially when your motivation to punch the idiot photographers is their lack of personal or public ettiquite, but until the Cal legislature gets a new law drafted (hurry up people), you heard the public fight back today. Harvey, read these posts VERY closely. There is NO WAY you ever anticipated the backlash you were going to receive on your own site, but that's where the public is feeling right now - they want order and respect back, even if it means there may be a few less pictures to see, SO USE YOUR STATUS and influence to do something good and self-legislate against stalkerazzi, or are you just in it totally shamelessly and for the money.

What's it going to be, Harvey, do you have any integrity left ???? I say no.

100. .... ya know ,one of these days, one of those surfer kids is going to be out by himself and one or 2 or 3 papz will recognize him and i hope they beat the living f*ck out of him !!!! PAYBACKS A B*ITCH....

101. not fore nothing but its sad that the pap's dont get the police protection they deserve, after all pap's pay taxes. they probably pay more taxes then the beach bums throwing bottles and destroying HD camcorders worth $20,000 dollars

i guess police make their own rules on who gets protection, with no arrests apparantly the beach bums get all the perks

102. one more thing, if getting your pix taken is part of bein a celeb then should a pap getting ass kicked part of his job? I think Yes.

104. Maybe the paps should stay away from where they are clearly not wanted. You people are parasites.
