Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Today I saw three kids -- boys, maybe 12, 13, 14 years old -- riding bikes, and they were holding fishing poles and one had a bucket, and they said "hello!" as they passed. Then I, a Normal Adult, yelled after them, "Looking for Ray Brower down by the train tracks?" and they uhh rode away faster.
