Gun free zone.....? Crazies and sea gulls run amok. Be careful what you vote for..... A Ruger 10.22 with a scope in the hands of a motivated janitor would solve the problem in a week. Just saying........ Chris

Maybe we should just kill all the wildlife so we don't have to deal with this kind of nuisance.

Nope, just kill a few of the leaders and the others get the message. This is what we should do with ISIS, the PLO, the Iranians, and maybe a couple of the line coaches for the Patriots....? Chris

Holster your firearms. All that's really needed is a feisty Chihuahua off the leash every morning for about a week.

I can think of a lot of things they can be doing, but reality appears to be they are doing absolutely nothing. If I had a kid that went there I would be making a big stink about it(no pun intended...) with school officials as I see it as a health/sanitary issue.
Not to mention Vista Jr Eagles football teams practice out there. Can't imagine how much crap has been laid down on those football fields. Would you want your kids playing in crap?

Might be easier to just tell the kids to clean up after themselves and not feed the birds.
If the kids refuse, put them on clean up patrol after each lunch and make them clean up their trash and messes.
The birds are there because it's an open buffet on piles of trash and food after lunch time. Seagulls tend to congregate around trash to pick at it, ever been to the dump?

Ya think the seagulls don't fly anywhere else?
When storms come in, seagulls from the coast fly inland.
Trust me when I say they gather where ever they find a large enough place to gather.
If they are bad at SMS, guaranteed they are bad elsewhere as well.

Seriously Truth...
The kids don't eat lunch on the football field. Yes seagulls like trash but this is absolutely not a trash problem. It would take a freakin landfill to sustain the amount of birds that are out there. This problem is a reflection of our current society and clueless school/city officials unable to identify a problem and take appropriate action.
You sir should be absolutely ashamed of yourself for blaming this on the kids.

It's fine to disagree with someone...but to make the comment you made makes me think you have major issues.You sir should be ashamed of yourself for blaming this on the kids. I would punch you in the mouth right now if you made that lame comment in my presence...
Hopefully you don't have kids. And if you do, God help them.
