Geoffrey T. Vonderlinden, 51, of Basking Ridge, was charged yesterday with violating the emergency orders after he was rescued while kite surfing off Normandy Beach in Toms River. Police and rescue crews responded to a report of a kite surfer in distress approximately 50 yards off shore and drifting northbound in the water, with strong winds and current. Fire department rescue crews and another surfer reached Vonderlinden and all returned to shore safely.
TOMS RIVER: Update on Yesterday’s Parasailer (Kite Surfer) Rescue
Why put 1st Responders in harms way? Stay home!
Donna Petti-Renninger I said the same exact thing the beaches are closed there is no lifeguards on Duty and he puts a lot of lives in danger being so in mature and an idiot no other words can describe it he deserves to get punished by the fullest extent of the law no exceptions Thank on no one was hurt
Donna Petti-Renninger very Nazi of you I’m sure the fuhrer would be proud of you seig heil
Good. Stay the hell home. Jerk!
Elizabeth Catelli stop Stella kubler
Steven Smith who?!
Elizabeth Catelli Google her. She was a Jewish woman working for the Nazi regime selling out her fellow Jews
You’re like a Stella kubler
Steven Smith am I supposed to know who that is?!
Elizabeth Catelli well you did go to school correct? And I did say Google her and u also told you who but yeah you should have learned that in school
But I guess if you don’t know history then you’re bound to repeat it
Elizabeth Catelli Stella Kübler-Isaacksohn was a German Jewish woman who collaborated with the Gestapo during World War II, exposing and denouncing Berlin’s underground Jews.
You’re ready to turn your fellow people in like a Stella kubler
Steven Smith ok. Because, that really seems related.
Elizabeth Catelli so if you see someone at the park not standing 6′ apart what are you going to do?
I already know Stella you’re going to be a snitch a sellout to your own fellow citizens. Yes it’s really related sorry that it’s way over your head. Makes sense now
Steven Smith nothing. It’s not my job. However, the idiot who blatantly disregarded the stay at home EO and got caught (because he was careless and needed to be rescued) deserves what he got. He is selfish and arrogant. Maybe he doesn’t care, but what about the health and safety of the police and first responders who had to save his stupid ass?
People don’t get it. I am someone who is chronically ill and is highly immunocompromised. It’s a shame when I have to worry about getting sick because of some asshole who doesn’t take it seriously. What is it going to take for these morons to comply? Maybe if they had to watch someone they love die….. My mom is a nurse and is surrounded by innocent people dying for no reason….
Because people who had the virus went to work instead of quarantining like they are repeatedly told. Maybe these selfish, ignorant people need to experience that. If this point of view makes me Stella whoever, then fine.
Elizabeth Catelli what part of that being a human rights, civil rights and constitutional rights violation do you not understand? I don’t give a fuck who is sick and dying that doesn’t mean my rights should be taken away
Steven Smith well maybe you should have some humility. Let’s see how you feel when your loved ones die.
Elizabeth Catelli ok so you’re chronicly I’ll and compromised right? So what makes today any different then any other cold and flu season to you? Nothing you were still chronicly I’ll and compromised and the flu and cold could have killed you then now and any other day in the future.
Then go be non socially distanced and protest. Let’s see how many people want to help your miserable ass when you are Covid +.
If you’re sick already then you failed to take care of yourself that’s not my problem that’s your problem you made that choice to compromise your health because it was your right to do so but because you are stupid doesn’t mean mine or any other Americans rights shall be violated. It’s scary how conformable you are.
Steven Smith right and there wasn’t a pandemic killing everyone in town. Wake up!
Elizabeth Catelli listen jackass if you’re healthy you survive plain and fucking simple. I was already sick my kid was sick extremely mild we both got over it the compromised elderly person living here didn’t get it neither did the baby who was born a week before this lock down. That’s how it works if you’re already on your death bed then you have to worry bit do you really because you’re already dying. Go do some reading. 85% of the people that have it do not need medical attention 5% are the ones dying in the hospital. The ones left are slightly sick they go to a doctor go home get better.
Elizabeth Catelli killing everyone? So if everyone is dying why the fuck are you so special to be alive with a compromised immune system?
Stop with your paranoid schizophrenic bullshit
Steven Smith gee, I’m sorry I don’t memorize everything I learned 20 years ago…
Now as a person like yourself whom is already chronicly I’ll and compromised if you got it and died even know you’re already sick from something more serious you’ll still be labeled as covid-19 death as if you were perfectly healthy before you got it. So those numbers are way off just like you are off your rocker
Elizabeth Catelli sorry to hear that. Maybe you shouldn’t make comments if your memory is that poor
Steven Smith you know what…go attack someone else. I have a family who needs me and I don’t need to be insulted and berated by you. Who the hell are you anyway. Clearly you have some kind of issue. Take it up with someone else and leave me alone.
Told you
You can’t fix stupid!
Another idiot
IDIOT…..
North Jersey idiot.
They should have left him there. He could paddle in. What an asshole
Just to let everyone know he was charged but it will get throw out due to the wording and not being specific about outdoor activities
Dereck Davis don’t count on it
Jeff Fedak I’m not down playing what first responders are dealing with. But if you read the actual executive order it is too broad. If you look at other states wording on activities it goes into details.
Dereck Davis it was an unnecessary trip from the looks of it his primary residence is north of here
When the class action suit against the state for wrongful prosecution, you can bet he will be on the list of people to get paid.
All these comrades in here loving the communist rule. Next these assholes will be chanting for the death of people living their lives
You fucking traitors should all be ashamed of yourselves. Not one of you assholes that think this guy did something wrong are not Americans.
Steven Smith no body wants communist rule , but feel free to catch it and end up on a ventilator .
Jeff Fedak I’ll take my chances on my own recognizance…….my body my rights …..right ? ur scared….u stay home
????????????????????????
Stay the hell out of Toms River
Also violated the “Do not go down to your shore house” order.
If he was 150 feet out, I bet he was social distancing just fine.
Should have stayed in Basking Ridge.
Carolyn Schnatter FROM A BENNY. YOU CAN GO BACK TO NORTH JERSEY AS WELL
Beth Lane YOU can go F yourselves you stupid bitch. Been living in Toms River 15 years! BENNY my ass! Do you even know what locations BENNY stands for? If you were not so ignorant you would know I’m not from any of those locations. You ignorant F$&@tard!
Not to mention….YOU are from LAKEWOOD! I would not be proud of THAT! Stupid! You should just keep your mouth shut next time.
Carolyn Schnatter if you weren’t born here, you’re still a Benny. Just a year round one. Your demeanor and language is proof of that.
