People in and around town have expressed concerns and fear due to the June 22 Malibu Creek State Park shooting, which shut down campgrounds.
Julie Ellerton, The Malibu Times multimedia director, went around town and asked locals this question:
“How safe are you feeling in Malibu?”
Here are their responses.
“I feel safe, the only thing I worry about is the traffic on the weekends. Now that it’s summertime, it’s crazy, crazy. It scares me, some people don’t have car insurance and there’s been a lot of accidents on PCH. It’s stressful.” — Lily Castro
“I still feel pretty safe. I know there’s the shooting (at Malibu Creek State Park) but I guess I trust our policemen and policewomen, that they’ll continue to keep us safe out here in Malibu.” — Jake Hughes
“I feel very safe in Malibu. I think that we have a great police force and great first responders. Do crazy things happen in all different parts of the world? Yes, of course, but I still think this is a very safe community, especially with the locals really trying to make it a safe place, too.” — Joel Dunn
“I’m feeling really safe in Malibu, I feel like everyone holds Malibu as sort of like a safe, sanctified place. We have the beach, we have so much to preserve. The dynamic has changed a bit but it doesn’t make me feel less safe, it almost feels more inclusive. With all we have developing, we can share it more—it’s almost breaking down our barriers. — David Robinson Hicks
