Six families who own cottages next to Chris Christie's private beach were ordered to leave their homes under threat of ARREST while the governor lounged in the sun

    Six families who own cottages next to Chris Christie's private beach were ordered to leave their homes Friday
    The families said they faced being arrested if they didn't leave their properties at Island Beach State Park
    But the New Jersey governor didn't seem to mind as he was pictured soaking up some sun on the beach
    Christie brushed off criticism after he was caught using state park over weekend, despite closing it to public
    He said he'd already announced intention to vacation at Governor's mansion, which is next to the beach
    Lawmakers struck compromise with Christie Monday night to put an end to three-day government shutdown
    Shutdown was triggered over Christie's demand that Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield be overhauled

Six families were left fuming after they were ordered out of their cottages located next to Chris Christie's private beach under the threat of being arrested while the New Jersey governor and his family soaked up some sun.

Howard and Betty Height were among the families told by police officers on Friday night that they had to leave their Island Beach State Park beach cottage or they'd be arrested.

'They're good guys,' Howard told NJ.com. 'They were just doing their job. But they said if we weren't gone by midnight, we'd be arrested.'

The Heights along with the five other families, received calls saying the park might close but lease holders could come in, on Friday.

However, they were still forced to leave. So the families packed their bags and left their properties.

Christie closed down all non-essential state functions - including Island Beach State Park - while the Senate struggled through the $34.7 billion budget standoff.

But that didn't stop him from brazenly using the empty sands of the park, which houses the governor's summer mansion - or flying there in a taxpayer-funded helicopter.

The governor was seen lounging in the sun as his family frolicked in the sea while citizens approaching the park were turned away.

It's like he wants to make sure he never has a career again.   :shrug:

Christie just exemplifies the hubris royalty anyone who is in power has in terms of contempt for the 'little people'.

Palaces for them.... gruel for us peons because they have robbed us of our wealth to redistribute to those who keep them in power for perpetuity.

Was compensation provided?

". . .nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

(Yes, I recognize that the US Constitution is an outline of Federal powers and restrictions...but it's become so bastardized, I state this merely to make a point...)

2 problems here.

Christie is the obvious problem.

The other problem is this apparently mixed use land where you have private homes on public land. The state land around here has "in holdings" but they're truly private property accessible by county roads in the unlikely event that the state land would be closed

The locals where I grew up still talked of how when Eisenhower was going to cruise on the river in the yacht, the Secret service told them to stay off the water. These were watermen. Almost to a man they said, 'we'll be happy to share our river with the President, but there is no way in hell we're going to stay off it.

Everyone was on the water for the occasion, and no one crowded the President's party.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Sigh.

Speechless.

All that's missing now is "who's on first" .
