"He’s reflecting on the mistakes he made in life and wondering if there’s any chance for redemption."
Five months ago, a Santa Barbara surf school owner was arrested in Mexico after his two children, aged 3 and 11 months, were found stabbed to death with a spearfishing gun.
Matthew Taylor Coleman, who owns Santa Barbara’s Lovewater Surf School with his wife Abby took the couple’s children, Kaleo and Roxy, to Mexico without telling friends or family.
Video footage from Rosarito, just south of the United States/Mexico border, showed Coleman checking into a hotel with the two children and leaving very early Monday morning before returning later, alone, to check out.
A farm worker saw blood on the ground and his dogs discovered the bodies of the two toddlers nearby, stabbed multiple times with a spearfishing gun.
Coleman, who was detained by waiting U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents when he tried to re-enter the US, told the FBI, “that he was enlightened by the QAnon and Illuminati conspiracy theories and was receiving visions and signs revealing that his wife…possessed serpent DNA and had passed it onto his children… Coleman said that he was saving the world from monsters.”
Coleman said he was motivated by the QAnon conspiracy theory that holds that Donald Trump had been secretly battling a wildly high-profile cabal of Satanist pedophiles.
The friend added, “He said he’s sorry, that he never wanted to cause pain, and that he’s working through why he made the choices he made. It was a very sad note.”
If found guilty, Coleman, who is currently in protective custody, faces the death penalty.

Awful story
Ha. Chaz has been stinking this place up with tabloid shite since day one. One good article in 30 (never written by chaz) and Derek writes 4 good articles a year.
Crowded Outhouse.
If Coleman wants redemption, he should kill himself a.s.a.p.
Quickest way to bring closure to everyone involved + save the taxpayers a lot of money.
“… why he made the choices he made”
mainly because he is a supple brained idiot, partially mental illness?
He should be working through how to turn your bedsheets into a noose
Play Crowded House in his cell 24/7
Make him have Ben Marcus as a pen friend?
Damn! Have to stick up for B______ M_____..
You deserve “greater than penis” badge, “teeny Neg weeney” badge something. Foul ball Negs, Foul Ball.
That’d be Cruel and unusual punishment. I’m all for it though. It would kill two birds with one stone – punish that crazy fuck and maybe keep Ben away from here.
You can block him.
But I think you like him
I do. I also enjoy the chaos, tears and outrage his voice brings both to himself and the rest of us.
Somebody has to tell you meaningless, anonymous, know-nothing dorks what a mob of meaningless anonymous know-nothing dorks you are.
Up $153+ in one day, baaaaaybeeeeee.

If only you’d been lucky enough to invest in the IPO…dusted this off just for you:
https://www.sec.gov/Archive…
Oh yeah, If you somehow could have bought 1,oo0,000 shares at the IPO, those $17,000,000 in shares would now be worth 1,000,000 x ($1210 x 5) = $6,050,000,000.
That’s BEEELION, with a B.
In just over 10 years.
I never understood how people got that rich and can afford to buy $80 million houses and $100 million yachts.
But now I know.
The stock market, done right, is the easiest money in t he world: No inventory, no depreciation, no employees, no brick and mortar.
Just hit SEND and let time make you rich.
Oh well, it was cool to watch it go up and out today like Charlie in the Great Glass Elevator.
It’s basically legalized gambling.
Yes and no.
With Tesla you are investing in a truly revolutionary company that is doing everything different in 21st Century ways to evolve citizens away from ICE stinkpots and fossil fuels to electric cars and renewable juice.
That’s not gambling, it’s vision.
Nuclear is the only way to supply the electricity needed. ps rereading The Surfboard, nice job Ben
Bill Gates and TerraPower are the Great Green Hope: Safer, cleaner nuclear.
Molten salt, etc.
And TerraPower could work for the same reason KSWCO and Surf Ranch worked: money makes things happen. A blank check makes things happen.
Also true for Tesla = money is speed.
Bill Gates = Dirk Ziff.
The truth about The Surfboard is that was really the keel for the story. Laying down a timeline using quotes from others.
Then I was going to layer over that.
But I ran out of time so they published the notes.
Oh well. Glad you like it.
Yes I agree in general with your energy premise. Way too many people though, really need to dial the population back, planet cant tolerate much more, Nature bats last.
Table top surf books…PICS of WAVES are usually boring, The Surfboard had some good backstory. Only a surfer can look at modern boards, most folks? haha..Right.
Whats your next project, you should unload all that surf stuff in your head before you forget it…….starts to fade.
I heard Kem Nunns “Tapping the Source” has a greenlight and director. His surfing writing rules, except for John from Cincinnati, which I still cant even start to watch. Any of his surf books would be great to make into films, unless they get butchered into main stream nonsense. Screenplays your gig?
Yes I agree in general with your energy premise. Way too many people though, really need to dial the population back, planet cant tolerate much more, Nature bats last.
I SAY THE WORLD IS OVERPOPULATED BY A FACTOR OF 8
MY DUMB MATH IS CALIFORNIA/NORWAY = 8
BUTTHE POPULATION EXPERTS SUPPORT THAT
WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE, WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS: NORWAY, MONTANA, NEW ZEALAND
Table top surf books…PICS of WAVES are usually boring, The Surfboard had some good backstory. Only a surfer can look at modern boards, most folks? haha..Right.
WELL THE MOST SUCCESSFUL BOOK I WORKED ON WAS ALL ABOUT WAVES AND NOTHING ELSE, SO GO FIGURE.
Whats your next project, you should unload all that surf stuff in your head before you forget it…….starts to fade.
EDITING A BOOK FOR THE SURFING RABBI AND ANOTHER FOR THE SURFING LAWYER AND I HAVE A LONG-DELAYED BOOK ABOUT MALIBU HISTORY.
AND LITTLE PIECES FOR BEACHGRIT.COM AND ELSEWHERE
THEYRE ABOUT TO PUT UP A PIECE ON MARILYN MONROE
I heard Kem Nunns “Tapping the Source” has a greenlight and director.
COULD BE GOOD, DEPENDS ON THE DIRECTOR.
CURTIS HANSON DIRECTED THE J_____ M_____ MOVIE AND THEY STILL MADE A BOMB.
His surfing writing rules, except for John from Cincinnati, which I still cant even start to watch.
JOHN FROM CINCINATTI DIDN’T WORK AT ALL
TRYING TO HARD TO BE COOL, LIKE J____ P_____ P______
Any of his surf books would be great to make into films, unless they get butchered into main stream nonsense. Screenplays your gig?
WELL I WROTE THE ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY FOR THE J____ M____ MOVE BUT IT GOT KIPED, AND THEN IT BOMBED.
I HAVE OODLES OF TV SHOWS AND MOVIES IN MY GULLIVER.
I WOULD KILL TO WRITE THIS ONE, MAYBE WITH J______ M______ OR P_______ H__________

IF only it was that simple…
It can be.
Guess right, hit SEND.
Although I don’t think anyone is allowed to buy a million shares of an IPO.
“Guess right” is a strategy just like hope. SEC along with FINRA rules 5131 and 5130 regulate how the allocations are handed out based upon relationships, insty or retail, or so I’ve read when not making lattes
Estimate right. Educate right. Extrapolate right.
I’m told 1,000,000 shares at an IPO isn’t possible but that was just an example.
Say 10,000 shares at $17. That $170,000 would have been worth 10 000 x ($1200 x 5) = $600,000,000 yesterday.
In 11 short years.
Righteous bucks.
so you must be rich and retired….how many million have you made ??
I love how you right wing people love money and base your success on how much !
Right wing.
Yeah right.
Around here I say people aren’t right wing or left wing.
They’re Gull Wing.
There’s a whole level of America who are too smart and/or wealthy to buy into all the stupid right wing/left wing nonsense.
To rephrase Marx: “It’s the dopiate of the asses.”
The Gull Wing hover above all the right/left nonsense – stupid people fighting over stupid things they don’t understand.
They hover, and are glad they are sophisto, and throw peanuts at the proles squabbling and quarreling over nonsense.
Mr.Brutus.? Give us some context on D Hynd interview on “FISH docuseries.”
and his angst with tweaking the San Diego template/magic numbers to desired LxWxH. As Van Straalen and Rasta accomplished. Feel free to get wordy! Please regarding that interview.
never saw it
You’re right, there are a lot of people in America who hide behind money.
Trump being the king daddy of them all and all his followers lined up behind him.
There are good people in America, they just tend to be invisible.
The best and worst of everything: That’s America.
so are you rich and retired ??
Oui.
If only my barista salary and tips paid me more, then I could participate in an IPO…
Work harder. Become a manager or something. You seem to be wrong about California and everything else, so whatever you career was and is, you didn’t thrive.
no, No, NO! I am spot on about CA! Your militant Dem blinders in concert with the faux Malibu panacea has you existing in a bizarre dream like state that the lucid cannot comprehend. Carry on and keep punching up as you wear it well! And NEVER forget you once lived in a $1m house…while I am a barista. COMICAL!
California is by far the most influential,most progressive, most productive and most prosperous state in the union.
By far.
$3.3 trillion GDP makes it the fifth largest economy in the world.
California grows a significant percentage of all the food consumed in America.
California came thorough a national and global economic meltdown with a $38 billion surplus and is the only state to write stimulus checks.
California pays half a billion dollars in gross federal taxes a year, which is more then the entire GDP of most states.
The most cutting edge companies in America were founded and/or are headquartered here.
Make it in California, move it to Texas.
Small-minded people see only small problems, while the smart money sees a much larger picture.
Thanks for leaving and moving to Arizona or wherever.
Please take five million with you.
Punching up? You? No.
SHHHH, with your canned drivel. It makes you look more defensive than most.
Tell us what land-locked state you ended up in.
And let’s compare
Triple Dog Dare you.
And that’s now a $2 million house.
SHHHH, I split time between a few states and CA is one of them…you know because baristas roll bigtime!
California looks at the rest of the country the way Norway and
Switzerland look at the rest of Europe: “Poor dumb bastards. Better them than nous!”
I see I really bother you…COMICAL!
No I’ve just learned you can learn a lot arguing with dingalings who don’t know diddly.
You’re so easily had and cunty.
A Clockwork Orange.
as you are so smart , you must be very rich ?
Ouai.
You ain’t ever gonna get rich making surfboards but you probably know that by now.
The trick is a combination of Elliot Gould in Oceans 12:
https://getyarn.io/yarn-cli…
And Gerry Lopez: “It’s a cakewalk when you know how.”
Stock market is the easiest money on the planet when done right.
And these are volatile times.
been rich , and yeah Gerry does rubber boards out of China for costco…you must have an incredible mansion in Malibu?
It’s nice where I live.
I had an incredible mansion in San Clemente.
Over it.
I have friends who live in beautiful mansions and they’re a non-stop, expensive pain in the ass
Small is beautiful.
Gerry is Gerry and that’s that.
He still makes lovely custom surfboards.
Costco is a side hustle.
Sad. Low energy. High cunt levels
Totally agree. The people on here are just so so.
Your articles are shit. You are a fucking fool and a cunt.
And you’re just foul-mouthed, DNA-addled, Australian convict trash.
If it wasn’t for America – and my direct ancestors – you’d be speaking Japanese and up to your ears in water buffalo crap, growing rice for the emperor.
On behalf of Uncle Sam: You’re welcome.
Fair nuff

Just end it already.
So fucking horrible
Roomate him with the gnarliest man raper in the prison system for a start.
“time to reflect” another 40 years of getting butt fucked will help with that too
Don’t let him get vaxxed or boosted.
Thatll guarantee a slow horrible death
Death penalty please. Or, if not, can someone just pull an Epstein and suicide him while he’s in jail?
Happens all the time..https://youtu.be/Mku0nE8sxTc.
He needs to kill that goatee of his next
