Inspiring. Inspirational. Moving.
There are only so many ways to describe the cause that these two men stand for. In a world of hatred, war, and political uncertainty, these two men have banded together for something that we can all stand behind. Something we can look at as the centerpiece for our world’s ideologies. Something we can turn to during times of devastation and turmoil.
Paul fucking Walker.
Two heroes from San Clemente, California stood in front of the city’s high court pleading for a 12-foot tall statue of Paul Walker to be erected at the end of the pier. One wearing a “Bacon” beanie with a Hawaiian shirt and tie; the other wearing a backward hat and a Paul Walker shirt (inspirational quote included). These radical individuals took city council through the highs and lows of their life as defined by Paul Walker’s performance in The Fast And The Furious only to get shot down. But their story is worth telling.
As YouTube commenter Datsunmyson23 stated, “Tuna sandwich scene saved my life.” And I know it may be too soon to say this, but these two guys may have saved mine. We currently live in a world where a Wiz Khalifa tribute to Paul Walker at every single award show just doesn’t do his life justice anymore. For every San Clemente surfer who remembers Paul Walker with every tasty wave, there’s a kid that’s brought into the world who may never know what an upstanding guy Brian O’Conner was, is, and will forever be.
While sure, the message these two men was completely and utterly diminished by the suits that they stood before, the words that came from their mouths will live forever. Nevermind the fact that one couldn’t pronounce “melancholy” and the other couldn’t read his shirt’s inspirational Paul Walker quote upside-down for more than a few words. What this world lacks is generosity, care, and empathy that these two have.
I urge you to call the San Clemente City Council at (949) 361-8322 to let them know your thoughts for this. Paul Walker forever. .

Nothing sums up California better than this story.
Paul’s a Legend. I’m all for it
I think I’ll have a Corona tonight in his honor.
San Diego transplant here, native Californian. I drive through the OC all the time. Definitely sums up parts of SoCal.
It doesn’t matter whether you win by an inch or a mile. Winnings winning….
you never had me… you never had your car!!
Granny shiftin’ not double clutchin’ like you should.
Finally something I can get behind.
Word on the hill claims noted extreme leftist Micah even supports this cause
Modern day heroes
did anyone watch the video? The kids name is Chad Kroger….
I see downside to this, everyone loves Paul Walker
*no downside
I’m going to get a lot of downvotes for this, but I don’t get the intensity of public mourning of his death. He was a mediocre actor and a star of a mediocre movie franchise.
He lived life a quarter mile at a time.
Also how he died, which put the lives of pedestrians and other drivers at risk.
Yeah, but the Buster kept me out of handcuffs.

He did more than just the Fast and Furious movies. He actually had a few other good ones to his name. Into the Blue was one of my favorites. He was also very active in the community he was from. Anyway, He was a good guy. Gone too soon.
Fair enough
