Vespucci Beach in Los Santos remains closed by police today after a serious incident occurred early Wednesday morning involving a suspect who expressed sympathy for Palestine, according to police.
Eyewitnesses say it all started when the character had an unthinkable thought: maybe tens of thousands of children being bombed in their home is a bad thing. Immediately, sirens could be heard in the distance, getting closer every minute. Helicopters flew overhead searching for the perpetrator. Swat teams and tanks were quickly deployed as police were given the green light to shoot on sight, sources confirmed.
In response to criticism of this response, the city of Los Santos set up a designated zone where such thoughts can be expressed safely.
“We just want to make sure everyone is safe,” a spokesperson for the Los Santos police department said. “We don’t want anyone getting caught in our crossfire.”
Since the closure of Vespucci Beach, over a hundred other characters have also been arrested for what the police say is trespassing, despite the fact it’s a public area. We reached out to one of these characters for a comment.
“All I did was say that we might need a ceasefire to end the chaos,” she said. “Next thing I knew, a full swat truck of guys was shooting at me.”
We talked to a bystander on the scene to get their thoughts on what is going on:
“I have no problems with expressing your thoughts like this as long as it’s not disruptive,” they said. “That way I can easily ignore it and not have to think about whether I’m in the wrong.”
The mayor of Los Santos declined Hard Drive’s requests for an interview about these arrests, instead sending over a statement demanding our press office in Los Santos be shut down.
