Mayor Filner orders night shutdown of La Jolla beach after cameras catch kicking, punching of seals. But was this a setup? @LaDonaHarvey has a mighty good take... Moreover, is it legal for a local official to shut down a PUBLIC beach?!

PERALTA'S STORY IN A NUTSHELL...From the NYT: Rafael Peralta emerged as the hero of the Second Battle of Falluja after deliberately sacrificing his life to save fellow Marines. He was with a unit clearing houses of weapons and insurgents when a group of insurgents attacked from the back room of a home the Marines had entered. A firefight ensued, and Peralta took a bullet in the head — a friendly-fire ricochet. Then an insurgent threw a grenade. Despite his injury, Peralta pulled the grenade under his body before it detonated. By absorbing the force of the blast, he saved the lives of an estimated six of his fellow Marines.
