Prosecutors asked witnesses in detail about the incidents, which, in some case, witnesses said, were started because non-local were coming to "their" beach.

Case closed...they're claiming turf and threatening outsiders who use "their" beach. That, in and of itself should meet the criteria of a frick'n gang! You don't need "colors" or throw hand signs to constitute being in a gang. Their behavior, alone will qualify them as gang thugs. Also, what does it say about Seth's moral terpitude and personal integrity when he makes the choice to align himself the the frick'n Hell's Angels, and to be role modeled into an animal who thrives on violence and whose sole purpose in life is to seek opportunities to engage in fist-fight challenges, just so he can have the sick pleasure of pummeling people who are no match in size and physical strength? That's the sign of a pure bully, and his cowardice (by having his cronies accompany him) is disgusting and reprehensible. Seth, you are one unattractive, ugly mother phuc-quer!! Every time I see your ugly mug on the news, all I want to do is beat the live'n $h*t out of you for the terror you and your disciples of violence reeked on the Beach area!

if anyone owned that beach it was Emery the surfer, he lived in front of it and pretty much owned the area like his own turf
the guys did not have the same participation as Seth did , thats his problem he will have to deal with it but Emery who was a good kid also had a trigger temper and came out swinging that night, he could have stayed safe in his condo
He was on probation for beating a guy in Florida and another one in Oceanside, yet he should have never died poor kid , he should be surfing and his poor mom must be in real pain; drinking is a bad deal for everyone around
some of the other kids did not participate in this ; eric house spoke to grosso emery's girl friend and Emery gor teed off and threw beer at
eric house; this kids were friends since way back in school , they were not into territories, their homes were close together

It's about time justice caught up to these surf bullies who proclaim a public surf area be "their beach". Prision time will do them "good" and the public by keeping them from terrorizing other lawful surf users.

Wrong, Anne Marie...Emery didn't own that beach either. He and his friends spent most of their time unemployed and not payng taxes. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who doesn't contribute to local and state taxes isn't entitled to claim ANY turf, whether they're a so-called "Professional" surfer or not. As far as I'm concerned, these guys were nothing more that professional thugs and bums. Their sporadic employment as construction bums doesn't count either. These guys weren't achievers and didn't graduate from college. It's also probably safe to assume that none of them graduated from an organized certified construction trades training program either. Don't defend these guys...all of them were bums, even the frigg'n college quarterback who didn't have the courage to take the high road and say, "no" when his a-$-$ hole friends conspired to follow Emery to his mother's place to beat the $h*t out of him. Emery's no saint either. If he has a criminal record of enticing fist fights, just like his stupid "Bird$h*t" Bandit disciples, then he's no less culpable. He just became nothing more than a victim of his own violent lifestyle, which obviously back-fired on him. None of these boys had proper mentors who would've long ago taught them coping skills and anger management. Their style of problem solving was to simply pummel the $h*t out of someone. Now, they're paying for it and law-abiding citizens should be rejoicing that these guys are no longer a threat to the general public. Screw all of 'em, and their friends who post here in their defense.

I don't know any of the defendants other than my nephew Matt Yanke. Matt made the biggest mistake of his very young life by following his so called friends on that fateful night. This was a very stupid fight between a group of drunk kids. Why is there no talk of the bar serving drinks to minors? Matt was not 21 at the time of the fight.
It's very easy to criticize the life style of these kids as spoiled rich kids. My brother simply tried to provide for his family and is by no means rich. He also tried to discipline Matt but anyone that has children knows that is not always easy. It becomes even harder when parents divorce. Parents that have "good" kids should thank their lucky stars. Sometimes no matter what you do your child ends up doing something wrong. My heart goes out to all the mothers and fathers of these children that are now facing a possible trial and to Emery's mom.
