Militiaman Pettet on the marina
Alan Pettet, the midtown activist who amused some observers and disturbed others with his claim this year that he would form an armed militia to patrol Stockton (he later backed off) called this morning to say he had been to see Stockton Marina, and he was not impressed.
Pettet uses a wheelchair. He said he could not enter the Waterfront Warehouse from the marina without going around to the building’s front entrance, on Weber Avenue. He said he intends to file a lawsuit against the city.
That the city does not own the Waterfront Warehouse does not matter, Pettet said.
