There is a lot more to this story then you guys know:
"In 1999, Texas State University, which owns the dam and the land around it, erected a fence to prohibit access to that part of the river. Later that year, the City Council enacted a swimming ban on that portion of the river. But Newman led a successful campaign to get the fences around the swimming hole removed and the ban relaxed.
In April, 22-year-old Jason Lee Bonnin, and a Texas State University student, drowned after he and three other restaurant workers jumped from the eatery into the river."
This is from the other board...I don't get what you're trying to say Davester? I mean, if the ban's been relaxed then it's not against the law anymore, correct? And if it was, wouldn't the guy that he saved have been arrested as well?
